Each member, Single or Joint, must present their Friends membership card at the ticket office on arrival. Without a valid Friends card you will be charged the normal admission fee. Further rules of admission can be found here.
If you are a UK tax payer, please consider Gift Aiding your membership by completing the Gift Aid section of the form. For administrative reasons, this section needs completing each time, even if renewing.
Please allow a maximum of 4 weeks for processing of application forms for both new and renewal membership. It is also possible to complete an application form at either ticket office (up to 30 mins before closing time) and join “on the spot” – you will be issued with an interim receipt for presentation at the ticket offices for admission while waiting for your membership card.
If choosing to pay by Direct Debit, this will be effective from the second year of membership; the current year must be paid by cash/cheque/credit/debit card at the time of joining.
