Free Entry to Pendennis Castle This Weekend for National Lottery Ticket Holders

In an exciting opportunity for history enthusiasts and the general public, Pendennis Castle has announced that it will open its doors for free this coming weekend, March 16th-17th 2024.

This gesture is part of The National Lottery Heritage Fund’s National Lottery Open Week, a program designed to express gratitude for the financial support received from lottery players. The funding significantly contributes to the preservation of Pendennis Castle and other historic sites under the care of the organisation.

Visitors who wish to take advantage of this offer are simply required to present a valid lottery ticket or scratchcard upon entry. This move not only aims to acknowledge and thank National Lottery players for their contribution but also to encourage wider public engagement with the nation’s heritage. Pendennis Castle, known for its rich history and cultural significance, is expected to attract a large number of visitors eager to explore the historic site without the barrier of an entry fee.

The event underscores the importance of community support in the upkeep and preservation of historic landmarks. By linking lottery participation with direct benefits to heritage sites, it highlights the positive impact of public funding on national heritage conservation efforts. The castle’s management hopes that this weekend’s free entry will not only offer an enjoyable and educational experience for visitors but also foster a deeper appreciation for the country’s historical legacy and the role of public funding in its preservation.
