The National Lottery’s Open Week is back from 15th–23rd March 2025, giving you unlimited access to hundreds of attractions across the UK – all for the price of a single lottery ticket, starting from just 25p. Yes, really.
Show any valid National Lottery ticket (digital or physical) at the entrance, and you’ll unlock free or discounted entry to some of the UK’s best days out, including:
✅ The Eden Project (normally £42 on the day)
✅ Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden (voted Which? Best UK Attraction, usually £21)
✅ Culzean Country Park, Quarry Bank, and Stourhead, all ranking in the UK’s top 10 attractions
In 2024, over 500 venues joined in, and 2025’s list is looking even bigger. Expect everything from historic castles to famous museums, gardens, art galleries, and theatres – plus extras like shop discounts and half-price tours.
🧐 How does it work?
- Buy any National Lottery ticket (we found Instant Win games from just 25p on the app).
- Show one ticket per person at participating venues.
- Enjoy your free or discounted day out!
TIP: Some venues allow group entry on a single ticket, but others are stricter, so check the details on the official Open Week list beforehand. You may also want to visit during quieter times to avoid the crowds.
