National Trust

I joined the national trust at the begining of the summer holidays after a friend suggested we went to a local national trust property that has a great play area for children. It was going to cost £16 for my daughter and I to get in so I decided a years membership for £46 would be well worth while - this is the single parent deal as I wanted something to do in the week with her while Dad was at work, family membership is £61 by direct debit. I then discovered I could get 20% cashback by going through a cash back website so I only needed to make 3 visits to be up on the deal. We have had some great days out. For any Midlanders I would particularly recommend Belton ...  Read the complete review

We were sent our real membership cards very quickly and have since had our renewal cards in plenty of time ...  Read the complete review

In these slightly more austere economic times, the best investment I have made is membership of the National Trust. What is it? The National Trust is a charity that acts to preserve a range of buildings and environments, ranging from stately homes to mills, coastline to hills, for future generations to learn from and enjoy. How much does it cost? Membership for a year costs less if you pay by direct debit, with the current direct debit prices being just £35.63 for one adult, £59.63 for 2 adults or £61.50 for a family. To put this into perspective, if you were to go as a family to legoland for just one day it would ...  Read the complete review
