Know a few people who do. Did tinker with the idea myself a while ago. Long application form, needed two references, initial trial was like working on a chain gain.

I bought the parentals lifetime English Heritage membership a few years ago. I think they've used it twice. So that's been good value.
That said, they've booked one of those holidays in The Sun to IoW and will use their membership to visit Osborne House.
I used to work for English Heritage, before I left the dark side, and foolishly didn't keep my staff pass which would have given me free entry to all properties. At least two staffers told me not to hand it in!

I shall be checking this out later tonight as I am going to an NT site tomorrow and was going to join.
I wonder if my English Heritage works in Sctoland?

Here's a Great Little Money Saving Tip For You
Paying over the odds for your National Trust Membership?
Well, apparently you can join the New Zealand NT & it's half the price and membership entitles you to enter all the NT properties over here.
So, a family membership (2adults and any number of school age children) costs $95. That's £48.
Whereas a family membership with the UK National Trust costs £120.
One caveat, though. NZ membership doesn't include parking.
By the way - although it says on the NZ website that membership gets you reduced or free entry to overseas properties, I have been reliably informed (by yesterday's fellow passenger on the flight back from Amsterdam) that it gains you free entry to all UK properties.
You heard it here first.
Personally, I cancelled my membership when the NT enforced the sale of healthy low fat, low sugar cakes in all the cafes on its properties.
I always used to enjoy a nice Wiltshire lardy cake after a circuit of the lake at Stourhead. Not any more - you just can't feel the fat running down your chin with these new nanny state offerings.
Can't see the Kiwis putting up with this nonsense. I'm in....Last edited by The Castle Cary Fairy; 11 May 2018, 23:30.
