    So that you can go whenever and as many times as you want to. I can't believe you are snivelling about an Open Day which is there to attract more customers and bring in more money! Thanks OP. We will be going and are looking forward to it! :j
  • Brilliant! Thank you.
  • I have a single membership as keeps costs down and every time me and OH go, I only have to pay for him.

    These free weekends are great as I can bribe him with the promise of a visit to the tea room in exchange for a day out!

    Am I being stoopid, but is this one pays and one free?

    The offer is free entry for a maximum of 2 adults and 2 children (between the ages of 5 and 16yrs). The voucher is flexible and can also be used by adults only (up to a max of 2 adults) or by adults and children (1 adult and 3 children or 2 adults and 2 children)
    Only one voucher can be used per paying adult or National Trust member.
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!
  • I thought about that too, but on actual voucher it says "the offer is for free entry for a maximum of 4 people, of which a maximum of 2 can be adults over 16 years". Nothing on there about paying adult.

    - You'll have to be careful on that signup to avoid signing up to getting junk mail & spam.
    - BUT you can go direct to the voucher page here https://join.nationaltrust.org.uk/voucher/download-voucher

    - It seems totally free (I can't see anything about "one paying adult")
    Here'as what it says :
    Take this voucher to a participating property to claim your Free Weekend visit offer.
    • Offer valid only from the 21 – 22 April at participating properties during
    published opening times only. A list of participating properties can be found at www.nationaltrust.org.uk/freeweekend.
    Please check opening times before you visit
    . Note exclusions do apply
    • The offer is free entry for a maximum of 4 people, of which a maximum of 2 can be adults over 16 years
    • Only one voucher can be used per visiting group.
    • This voucher must be surrendered upon admission and is non-transferable against the cost of membership
    • This offer is not valid for coach parties
    • This voucher cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer

    - Then they talk about the Membership offer ...etc.

    On the voucher I have just printed out it says "Only one voucher per visiting group". Can't see anything about per paying adult either.

    This offer was mentioned on the BBC 1 o'clock news! Apparently they think children, particuarly boys should get out more instead of staying indoors playing computer games. Not all properties taking part, but quite a few! :D

    How does that work out then?
    Do they do free weekends often? :)
