Castle Howard is introducing expanded Membership benefits from 2 March 2026 through a new joint membership scheme with the Castle Howard Arboretum. Members will gain access to both attractions using their existing cards, alongside additional benefits including the loyalty point scheme extended to both sites, and two-for-one tickets to Kew Gardens in London (terms apply).

Loyalty Points scheme: earn a percentage back in the shops and cafes, 5% for Silver and Bronze, 10% for Gold. (Alcohol and some promotions excluded).
Here is a selection of suggested Membership packages. You can build your own package based on any combination of adults or adults and children. As you build your package, the correct and best-value price will be calculated at checkout.
