The National Lottery Open Week is back this month from 7th to the 15th March 2026!
To say thank you for the £32 million raised for Good Causes every week by players, National Lottery funded venues are offering FREE entry, discounts and special offers throughout National Lottery Open Week.
Lots going on across the entire country and the list of attractions and what is needed to gain free access is on the National Lottery Website! See the link in the comments.
All attractions are slightly different but generally you just need to bring your National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard, or Instant Win Game to enjoy free entry at any participating attraction.
We used this one year when we visited Cornwall and gained two FREE adult entries to the Eden Project (we both had a ticket on our lottery app) and it was very straightforward!
