Andrew’s Top Ways To Save on English Heritage

First and foremost, I would check the list of English Heritage properties to see if there’s enough I’m interested in to warrant membership. Consider going on a pay-as-you-go basis if you’re an infrequent visitor.

If you want to become a member, check Annual, Joint, Family and Lifetime membership options (detailed above) and see if any of those make sense for you.

Given English Heritage is a charity and you’re making a donation, you can opt for Gift Aid if you’re an eligible UK taxpayer. This will allow English Heritage to reclaim some of the tax paid on your donation, increasing its value at no extra cost to you. If you’re a high earner, this will also reduce your tax bill and save you some extra money.
