Save up to 25 per cent with National Trust membership discounts and promo codes
Lois BornyMonday 24 November 2025 09:52 GMTWant to explore the UK’s historic sites and natural beauty spots without breaking the bank? A National Trust discount code can help you enjoy more-affordable access to more than 500 breathtaking locations across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We’ve rounded up the latest National Trust membership discounts, plus saving tips for staycations, family days out, gift shop buys and more.
How to save at National Trust
Up to 25 per cent off with the senior concession
As a thank you to loyal members, the National Trust has a 25 per cent concession for senior members aged 60 or over who have been members for at least three consecutive years. That is £24 or more in annual savings with an individual senior membership for £72 or £120.60 for a joint senior membership.
Senior memberships cannot be completed online. To redeem this discount, please call the National Trust at 0344 800 1895.
£10 gift card or guest pass with direct debit memberships
Select annual direct debit as your payment method when getting a new joint, family, individual or young person membership to qualify for a £10 gift card or free guest pass. The National Trust gift card can be redeemed in any on-site shop or cafe, while the guest pass is a single-use voucher for free entry.
The guest pass is valid at select locations and the member who claimed the benefit must be present. Make sure to check if the National Trust place you want to visit accepts guest passes and whether or not there are any pre-booking requirements.
Young person membership discount
Individual memberships normally cost £96 a year, however, National Trust offers 50 per cent off the young person membership. Anyone aged 18-25 years old can purchase a young person membership for £48.
Free parking at every National Trust car park
Another perk of a National Trust membership is free parking. This is available for everyone, aside from junior members under 17, and can save you between £3 and £5 on average per visit. Either scan your National Trust membership card or use the JustPark app to validate your parking.
First order discount code
Sign up for the National Trust newsletter and get 10 per cent off your first online shop order of more than £50. The offer applies to the National Trust online store, which stocks homeware, garden décor, outdoor gear, food and more.
You will also stay up to date on all the National Trust sales, important updates and upcoming events when you register for the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time if the communication is no longer relevant to you.
