National Trust Membership Deals: Reciprocal Arrangements
March 3rd, 2024National Trust Membership; FREE Reciprocal Arrangements
We’re always on the lookout for National Trust Membership Deals but here’s a great reciprocal perk that is often overlooked by NT members that offers you the chance to make substantial savings. Not many people realise that National Trust members are entitled to FREE visiting arrangements with 14 similar heritage organisations around the world. This is a great free entry perk for those either travelling overseas or something closer to home with Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Man all included in this perk.
LOOK OUT FOR National Trust Family Membership that includes up to 10 Children/Grandchildren, (5 – 17 years) for FREE!

National Trust Membership: FREE Entry to Scotland/Jersey/Isle of Man & more
This National Trust free reciprocal arrangement is available at 14 other heritage settings including Australia, Canada, Italy, Malta, The Bahamas & The Cayman Islands so a great free perk for those planning a trip abroad. For those planning a trip closer to home, interesting to note that there are also free reciprocal arrangements in place for Scotland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. Whether it be Threave Garden in Dumfries & Galloway, Falkland Palace or the Hamptonne Country Life Museum in Jersey, there are plenty of attractions to choose from.
With an array to heritage settings available at each of these sister sites, this is a great way to make your membership go further. Unfortunately these reciprocal arrangements don’t reach to free parking but, as the bulk of your cost lays with the admission charges, there are still plenty of savings to be made.
You can find more deals & discounts over in our National Trust Membership Offers & Codes.
National Trust for Scotland
The great news with this deal is that it also works for National Trust for Scotland members that can make use of this reciprocal arrangement too. Here NT for Scotland members can pick up FREE entry to National Trust settings based in England and Wales so works as a nifty perk either way. National Trust for Scotland family membership also offers free entry for up to 6 children, (under the age of 18 years) so it’s double deals with this offer.

My wife and I have purchased an apartment in the Isle of Man but are residents of the U.K. but not classed as residents of the Isle of Man.
How much is it to obtain a joint National Trust Heritage card to use in the Isle of Man for all the Heritage sites there.
Hi, worth know that members of the National Trust of England, Wales, Northern Ireland or National Trust for Scotland can take advantage of free visiting arrangements with a number of similar heritage organisations including Manx National Heritage. Alternatively, you can pick up a Adult Visitor Holiday Pass that gives you access to all Manx National Heritage sites that is valid for 14 days from first use and currently priced at £35pp, hope that helps, Liz

Please could you let me know what is the reciprocal organisation in Italy?
Hi Christopher, we can see that the National Trust for Italy participates in the reciprocal arrangements for National Trust members through the INTO Places programme. Worth noting that some National Trust sites in Italy offer discounted entry rather than free entry. It is suggested that you check the local visiting arrangements and admission information by visiting the website of our participating trusts with more information available at Into.org
Can I use my English national trust card to visit Faulkland palace and garden
Hi Colette, yes indeed the National Trust for Scotland has reciprocal arrangements in place for National Trust for England so you can pick up free entry compliments of the International National Trust Organisation,(INTO). If you’re visiting a reciprocal organisation, it’s recommended that you bring both members’ membership cards if you have a joint or family membership as without both cards you may either be charged or refused entry. Reciprocal arrangements do not extend to parking charges.
Could you telll me if the NT and English Heritage reciprocate entry or do you only get in free with the membership you have.
Hi Lesley, English Heritage members can take advantage of a host of discounts for associated attractions but I don’t believe this this covers National Trust properties. National Trust members can enjoy free entry to reciprocal NT sites around the world but unfortunately this doesn’t extend to English Heritage sites, Liz
Is there a list of all countries with reciprocal arrangements? It would be useful.
Thanks
Hi Jenny, the National Trust reciprocal arrangements are with the following countries; Scotland, Jersey, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, Isle of Man, Guernsey, Italy, Canada, Bermuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Zimbabwe. Good to know that discounted entry fees apply at most of the Barbados Trust sites, however, where sites are not managed directly by the National Trust there is no free entry.
