Annual Membership
An Annual Pass is a great way to get the most out of Castle Howard. Membership is valid for 12 months (from the date of purchase) so you can enjoy our exhibitions, gardens, adventure playground, shops and cafés all year.
Full membership benefits follow:
- Free admission to the House - A wonderful opportunity to visit the House, at any time when open to the public, to view the collections and our changing programme of exhibitions.
- Free admission to the Gardens & Adventure Playground - Castle Howard Gardens offer unrivalled peace and tranquillity whatever the season. Beautiful seasonal displays include daffodils, rhododendrons, magnolias and roses.
- Free admission to most daytime events - Our programme of events offers something for all the family and most are free to Annual Pass members.
- Free fun for children - Castle Howard is a safe and secure environment for children to let off steam.

They can also enjoy special children’s events at Easter and August Bank Holiday.
