Coughton Court has announced its free days for National Trust members.
The former National Trust site near Worcester is now run by the Throckmorton family, but it’s allowing members who once enjoyed it to continue to do so with their membership.
Usually, National Trust members who visit a non-National Trust site would have to pay for entry, if it asks for admission costs to be covered, but on 10 days throughout the year, they can access Coughton Court for free.

Who are the Throckmorton family?
Historic Houses explains: “The recusant Throckmorton family moved to Coughton Court in 1409 and have lived there ever since.
“Therefore, as well as interesting architectural features, the house has 600 years of family portraits and furniture.
“More recently the award-winning gardens have been revitalised to include rose gardens, herbaceous borders, a bog garden, orchards with naturalised bulbs as well as formal gardens, a lake, two churches and a river walk.”
The site has a cafe and a shop, with the house and gardens available to explore too.
