We want everyone to enjoy a great day out at our sites, because we believe history belongs to us all!

Join us on the first Sunday of every month*, until March 2027, and get free entry to sites near you.

This offer is online only, tickets must be booked in advance. Proof of address may be required on arrival.

Tickets for Sunday 4 October are available now. If you don’t get tickets this time round more will be available next month. Keep an eye on this page for participating sites and to book your Historic Sundays tickets.
