Join Us

Nothing tells a nation's story like its homes. Every member of Historic Houses is helping to preserve Britain's independent heritage for future generations. By way of a thank you, the owners of more than 300 of our homes and gardens invite you to pay them a visit for free.

Our collection is the largest group of historic houses in the UK, and ranges from imposing castles and impressive palaces to elegant stately homes and hidden, sleepy, manor houses. From large to small, medieval to Victorian, most are lived-in family homes, not static museums, where chairs really are used for sitting in and dogs and children are never far away. Join us and come on in.

In return for your support as a Historic Houses member you'll receive:

• Free access to more than 300 historic houses and gardens across the UK during normal opening hours
• Discounts and opportunities to book places on exclusive private tours of hundreds more undiscovered places
• Historic House magazine, four times a year — revealing the hidden lives of our member houses, providing an insight into what it's like to care for an historic building, and sharing delicious recipes from our member kitchens, ideas for great days out, and news and updates.
• Access to a members area on our website where you can view bespoke content tailored for you

*Note that membership should be considered a pass to visit hundreds of incredible historic estates across the UK, with houses joining and leaving the association each calendar year. If you're looking to visit one place only we'd recommend taking up their membership scheme instead where available.
