Delegate Access to National Trust and English Heritage properties

National Trust Touring Pass

Explore the beauty of Britain for free with your complimentary National Trust Touring Pass.

Discover wonderful days out at hundreds of spectacular castles, historic houses and glorious gardens across England, Wales and Northern Ireland with your complimentary 14 day pass available to IIC delegates.

The National Trust Touring Pass is the best way to enjoy and experience centuries of British history in a short amount of time. Every one of the Trust's historic houses and properties is totally unique and holds the secrets of those who once lived and worked there. Every garden and landscape affords its own amazing views and reveals a different beauty with each passing season.

The National Trust protects over 300 beautiful houses and 200 glorious gardens. These range from Sir Winston Churchill's Chartwell to the revolving writing hut of George Bernard Shaw. The touring pass provides free admission into the majority of these properties, with the exception of a few properties listed below.

You will find a 14 day National Trust Touring Pass with the Trust's compliments in your delegate pack when you register at the IIC conference. You will also be provided with a Great Ideas Guide to help you plan your visits. All you need to do is take the pass to a National Trust property and on the date of your first visit your pass will be validated and you have 14 days to visit as many properties as you like.

Alternatively if you are not going to have time to explore after the congress, once you have registered congress attendance, contact us on traveltrade@nationaltrust.org.uk or +44 (0)1793 817574 quoting 'IIC Conference' and we will arrange to send you a pass in advance (please allow sufficient time for delivery before your visit). If you need a 2-person Pass, which can only be obtained in advance, please ask, once registered.

We regret that the Pass isn’t accepted at some of the very small and pre-bookable NT properties. These are: Mr Straw’s House, Buscot Park, Chastleton House, Dunster Working Water Mill, Gondola, The Homeward, Mendips, Oakhurst Cottage, Orford Ness, Red House, Shugborough Estate, Wakehurst Place, West Green House Garden, 20 Forthlin Road.
