English Heritage Gift Membership - help keep heritage alive & strong
If you're looking for heritage gifts for anyone who loves British heritage, the English past and historic gardens, you could give them a Gift of Membership to English Heritage. (There's a special offer on at the moment, too, so read on or scroll down!)
English Heritage care for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites from the prehistoric to the Medieval, the Roman to the Cold War. And they bring the story of England to life – you can stand and be where history has happened. Many of their sites will be known to you, such as Stonehenge, Dover Castle, Tintagel, Hadrian’s Wall and Kenilworth Castle.
Walk and stand where history happened!
English Heritage is a registered charity (no 1140351) and they work hard to help people discover history through experience and being in the places where it happened, rather than just reading about it in books. So you can walk in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth I at Kenilworth Castle, or wander through the grounds of Down House, just as Charles Darwin did. You can visit Boscobel, where King Charles II hid from soldiers in the oak tree for a day, and wonder what it would have been like to have been a member of the family of the Dukes of Northumberland at Warkworth Castle.
So there’s plenty to see and do and English Heritage has lots of events on throughout the year.

English Heritage know very well that families are all different - you'll have nature lovers in some, high energy people in others, some who have a love of history and heritage or perhaps creativity. So they've got help for you to find that perfect day out for you and your family here with an online guide! And there's no reason why your four-legged member of the family should stay at home - there are plenty of dog friendly properties to choose from - fetch more information on dog friendly properties here. Please remember not to leave your dog in a car.
So what's on at English Heritage?
 | With Easter on its way, this is a good time to see what's happening at various English Heritage properties. A number of them have fun-filled adventure quests, when you can follow Easter trails and hunt for eggs, answering questions en route to get a delicious chocolate reward! And some properties have the Big Brick Build; mini builders can test their skills; expert brick builders will be on hand to guide them. Bring history to life with LEGO® bricks. Find out about what's on where this Easter at English Heritage! |
Take a look at the Winter Warmers, the Victorian Way, from the kitchens! Some of them I wouldn't try, but there's a carrot cake, cucumber soup, splits and scones (whatever a split is, must watch the video) an apple and crumb pudding - just take a look at the playlist of videos and see if you feel like giving any of them a go!
And this could be a good time to look through the pages on the Story of England - from before AD43, so Prehistory, through the Romans, Early Medieval, Medieval, Tudors, Stuarts, Georgians, Victorians and the twentieth century. Delve into the past from the comfort of home here
English Heritage have a number of priorities:
- to inspire, thus creating an interest in history and times past to pass on through the generations;
- to conserve, caring for historic sites and artefacts, and being leading experts in the field of conservation;
- to involve more people in the work they do, including to boost member engagement through visits to their sites;
- and to have financial stability, in part by increasing the membership, and giving members a reason to stay with them.
