Visit a National Trust property for Free as a Sydenham Society member
Sydenham Society members continue to benefit from free entry to many National Trust properties thanks to our membership of Civic Voice. Sydenham’s location in south-east London puts us in striking distance of a wide range of the finest NT properties in Kent, Sussex and Surrey – many of which can be reached by public transport (but check details first at http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ before setting out!)
The passes are valid until 31 May 2016 and the offer includes you and your partner. If you are already a member of the National Trust you can pass the offer on to friends and family. However, due to re-organisation, English Heritage passes are not available this year.
You can collect your free NT passes at all Sydenham Society events (public meetings, trips and quiz nights) and at the Sydenham Society stall at the monthly SEE3 market (now on the second Saturday of the month) in Venner Square. Alternatively, you can have the passes posted to you by emailing chair@sydenhamsociety.com or by phoning 020 8778 6914.
A selection of NT properties in London and the south-east is listed below. The prices for single adult entry in brackets show how much you can save by using this offer.
