National Lottery Open Week at Shakespeare's New Place Gardens

Free entry from 7-15 March 2026 for National Lottery players

We’re proud to be part of National Lottery Open Week, a UK-wide celebration of the extraordinary places and projects made possible by National Lottery players.

Thanks to National Lottery funding, the transformation of Shakespeare’s New Place in 2016 created today’s beautiful garden and visitor experience on the site of the playwright’s final home. During Open Week, we’re saying thank you by offering free entry to this special place to anyone with a National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard or Instant Win Game.

Join us to explore the gardens, uncover the story of Shakespeare’s family home and celebrate the heritage that National Lottery players help to care for.
