Free day out
Free entry to English Heritage sites for unpaid carers
United Kingdom
English Heritage provides free entry to all of its sites and events for any carers accompanying the person they care for.
How to claim
English Heritage provides free entry to all of its sites and events for any carers accompanying the person they care for. They do not ask for any evidence that you are a carer or that the person you are accompanying requires care. The person you care for will still need to either pay for entry or have English Heritage membership for themselves though.
If you give English Heritage a call on 0370 333 1182, they can provide the person you care for with what they call a ‘letter of authority’. This will automatically give the people accompanying them free entry. Alternatively, you can just show up on the day and tell the ticket office staff when you arrive that you are an essential carer.
