We’re saying thank you to National Lottery players with £1 tickets to all RHS Gardens for National Lottery Open Week: 7 – 14 March 2026

Every week National Lottery players raise over £30 million for good causes and have helped fund charitable projects at the RHS. That’s why we’re delighted to be taking part in National Lottery Open Week 2026, to celebrate the contribution of National Lottery players in supporting deserving causes.

To say thank you for your support, we’re offering National Lottery players £1 tickets to all our RHS Gardens from Saturday 7 to Saturday 14 March.

Inspiring people to grow

Thanks to support from National Lottery players and The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we’ve been able to make our RHS Gardens more accessible to a wider range of visitors, provide free gardening activities and events in local communities and support people of all ages on their lifelong adventure with gardening. The restoration of the historic laboratory at RHS Wisley and the creation of a centre for horticultural science and learning was made possible with a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
