We don’t expect you to visit that many attractions. The Overseas Visitor Pass is incredible value for money and you can start making savings from as little as 2 or 3 visits!
For example, the price of the guidebook plus the combined normal adult admission price to Dover Castle, 1066 Battle of Hastings Abbey & Battlefield, and Lullingstone Roman Villa - just three attractions in the South East - is £30.75. With a 7 day Overseas Visitor Pass you save £12.15!
If you want to calculate exactly how much the discount card will save you on your holiday simply add the normal entrance fee for all the properties you would like to visit and don’t forget to add the value of the guidebook, which sells at £8.95 in our shops.
Yes, the Pass pays for itself after approximately 3 visits so you can enjoy savings from the first or second day of your stay!
The Pass is available for overseas visitors only. Visitors may be asked for proof of overseas residencies when visiting a property.
The Pass is available to both groups and individuals, however parties of 11 or more people paying together qualify for a group discount of 15% at all sites (10% at Stonehenge) which may work out cheaper. We also strongly recommend that groups of 11 or more visitors book their visit in advance directly with the properties.
The family pass is valid for 2 adults and up to 4 other family members under the age of 19 living at the same address.
Other than the family pass there is no reduced child pass. At our sites children under the age of 5 are admitted free of charge and children up to the age of 15 qualify for reduced entrance fees.
The English Heritage Overseas Visitor Pass is valid for a period of either 7 or 14 days.
