Are you looking for a way to get the most out of your favourite local attraction? Perhaps you’re looking to save on a range of venues? Whether you’re looking to treat yourself or gifting one to somebody you love, an annual membership may be the answer you’re looking for! From discounts to exclusive access, annual memberships offer unique benefits that can make your experience that much more enjoyable.
Is an annual membership right for me?
A membership to a local attraction or organisation can provide year-round entertainment for all ages. Whether you are a family looking for a different activity each weekend, or a single person looking for a new hobby, an annual membership to a local attraction can be a great investment. An annual membership sometimes provides access to all the activities and events within the attraction, from interactive games and rides to educational experiences. Not only this, but often a membership also offers discounts on food, shopping and services within the attraction.
An annual membership may also allow you to take advantage of special events or early bird discounts. The convenience of having an annual membership also allows you to enjoy your favourite attractions on your own time, without feeling pressured to stay all day or see everything on your first visit!

We loved being National Trust members, there are SO many properties to visit in Gloucestershire and its neighbouring counties and it’s something we will definitely be joining again in the future.

We have enjoyed visiting Historic Houses around Gloucestershire and Devon this year, local highlights include our visits to Eastnor Castle and Berkley Castle. Our Devon favourite was Hartland Abbey, famed for being the set of the BBC’s production of Mallory Towers and with the most stunning coastal walks nearby.
Cotswold Farm Park
Cotswold Farm Park is a great place to visit for the whole family. With the purchase of an annual membership you can enjoy unlimited visits to the park and access to all the activities and events that it has to offer.
The park is home to over 500 rare and traditional breeds of farm animals, and the annual membership gives you the opportunity to get up close and personal with these friendly creatures.

We absolutely adored having annual membership during Ace’s pre-school year, we made some amazing memories there and it’s somewhere we all still love to go back to even now the children are older.
Other annual memberships to consider
There are so many other annual memberships available near Cheltenham and beyond, many local museums offer this option and some even grant access to sister sites once you’ve signed up. Some other places to consider are Cotswold Wildlife Park, Slimbridge and Westonbirt Arboretum.
So, your entry is covered, you can return to your favourite places again and again without extra cost and you don’t have to commit to a full day out to get your money’s worth… I’d say that an annual membership is a total no brainer! What’s your favourite annual membership?
