On paying the full admission fee you will receive an Annual Pass which allows you to return as many times as you wish for the following 12 months. Many people only visit us once in a year but through Gift Aid, offering annual passes in this way allows us to treat your ticket fee as a donation and therefore increases funding for our charitable work. Please note, our Twilight Ticket is valid from 3pm for one visit only and does not grant visitors an Annual Pass.
Please become a Gift Aid visitor
You will also be offered the opportunity to Gift Aid your entrance fee. Gift Aid is a simple way to increase the value of your entrance fee to the charity – at no extra cost to you. If you pay tax in the UK, we can reclaim the basic rate tax on your entrance fee, giving the Museum an additional 25% towards our charitable work.
Admission
All children (under 16) must be accompanied by an adult.
Companions who are required to assist disabled visitors are admitted free of charge, proof of carer status will be required.
We offer a 10% admission discount to Blue Light Card, HM Armed Forces ID Card & HM Armed Forcers Veteran Card cardholders. Please note this discount applies to cardholder admission only.
