This is a simple offer but there are a few conditions:
You must buy a full price adult admission ticket from a visitor attraction or stay in one of the hotels listed on this website. This offer is not available if you are taking advantage of any reduced price or concession ticket or if you are taking part in a pre-booked group visit. If you are booking a hotel it is essential that you mention your Hidden England passport when booking.
All offers including two for one entry are at the absolute discretion of the individual attraction or hotel and may not be available for repeat visits or on bank holidays, special event days or when special admission charges might apply. Two for one admission and special hotel benefits using 2011 passports are only available until the end of 2011. Many of the attractions close for part of the year and final 2011 opening dates will vary, please refer to the individual house or attraction websites for full details of opening dates and times. The free book offer is subject to availability.
A great way to see all five houses and save money into the bargain.
By purchasing a full price entry ticket to any of the visitor attractions featured on this website, including the five Houses of Hidden England, you are entitled to 'two for the price of one entry' at any of the other attractions or historic houses. Further, if you stay at one of the hotels featured here you may also claim the same benefit. If you already have a stamped 2011 passport you will also find that the hotels will offer you benefits, ranging from a special rate to free upgrade and champagne. All we ask is that you claim your discounted entry or hotel benefit before the end of the 2011 season.
How does the offer work?
When you buy your admission ticket to an attraction or stay in one of the Hidden England hotels, ask for a Hidden England passport. This will be stamped by the attraction or hotel. Present this stamped passport when you visit any of the other attractions or historic houses before the end of the 2011 season and you will be able to claim 'two for the price of one' entry or a special hotel deal. You will find details of the offers in the 'places to stay' and 'things to do' pages on this website.
