When will the National Trust open? Properties, parks and car parks are gradually reopening – here’s how to book

National Trust properties serve as great places to get outdoors for some fresh air, but in light of the most recent government guidance, will they be open?

Here's everything you need to know:

When will National Trust locations be reopened?

In a statement, the National Trust said they’re “reopening the places you love, gradually, safely and in line with government advice. ​

Every Friday, The Trust releases new tickets for the following week. They have to continue to limit numbers to make sure that visitors and staff will be safe, but they’re opening more places every week and adding more tickets for places that are already open.

There are also hundreds of coastal and countryside car parks open in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for which you don't have to book.

For now, all National Trust houses remain closed, but they’re working on plans for when they can reopen these again.

How do I book?

All visitors must book a ticket in advance, including members. Entry and parking is free for members, but please bring your membership card with you. Non-members will need to pay in advance.

- Please book one ticket per person, except for children aged 5 or under as they don’t need a ticket.

- You’ll need to choose a 30-minute arrival time for the day you want to visit.

- The timeslot is for your arrival time only and the length of time you can stay will depend on the opening times of the place you're visiting.
