Become a Cadw life member
Become a life member and take all your children and grandchildren (under 18 years old) and one adult guest free to Cadw, English Heritage, Historic Scotland and Manx Heritage sites from the day you join.
A Cadw lifetime membership is an investment in a lifetime of discovery. From the moment you join, you can enjoy unlimited access to the remarkable historic places in Cadw’s care, returning again and again without the need to renew. Whether it’s a spontaneous day out or a much‑loved annual tradition, lifetime membership removes the barriers to exploring Wales’s story at your own pace, for as long as you choose.
It’s also a gift that keeps giving across generations. Lifetime members can share unforgettable experiences with their family, bringing children and grandchildren along to explore castles, abbeys and ancient monuments, while also welcoming a guest to join the adventure. With reciprocal access to heritage organisations beyond Wales, lifetime membership opens the door to even more historic places, turning every trip into an opportunity to learn, connect and make memories together.
Above all, becoming a lifetime member is a powerful way to show you care about Wales’s historic environment. Your support helps Cadw protect and conserve historic places for the future, ensuring they remain accessible, inspiring and meaningful for generations to come. A lifetime membership isn’t just about entry to sites — it’s a lasting commitment to safeguarding the stories, landscapes and heritage that define Wales.
Cadw life members have contributed nearly £1 million towards conservation at Cadw sites.
