Important Information for Corporate Members

Although the corporate membership scheme offers free access to over 280 properties, not all properties English Heritage looks after are free for our corporate members.

To avoid disappointment please see the list of properties below which are available to corporate members. Additionally, corporate members are not entitled to free entry to properties when there are special events at the property. Before your visit, to avoid disappointment, call English Heritage customer service line on 0870 333 1181 to see whether you may be charged.

Not yet. But I would say it can only be a matter of time.

And I'm sure this whole sponsorship scheme with English Heritage was tax-deductible.

Royal Mail have withdrawn their corporate support for English Heritage. Shame they didn't mention it to their employees!

According to RM it's EH that have withdrawn their corporate memberships:

But there is no mention of them ending them on their own website:

Strange, yesterday i went to an English Heritage site and I said I had corporate membership, they asked if it was through Barclays, I said Royal Mail, and they told me Royal Mail had withdrawn their corporate membership.

I emailed Emily Travis, Corporate Development Officer, Development Department, at EH in March and received this in the reply:

'from April 2017, Royal Mail staff are no longer to gain free entry to our sites. This is because our wider corporate membership scheme itself will be drawing to a close over the course of 2017-2018 as we enter just our third year as a charity.'
