For the first time in 2007, the Great British Heritage Pass will also be available as a convenient Family Pass. Families of two adults and up to three children, ages 5 to 15, will be able to enjoy the best of Britain’s heritage using only one pass to enter over 580 properties around the UK.

Activating the Great British Heritage Pass

The smart card technology used by the Great British Heritage Pass includes a computer chip within the card itself. This chip records when and where you first use your pass, as well as how long the pass will remain valid for. What this means is that regardless of what start date you supply when you purchase the pass, your Great British Heritage Pass is activated the moment that you first use it, at the first property that you visit.

Your Great British Heritage Pass is then valid for the number of days that you purchased – be it 4, 7, 15, or 30 days. It is important to note that a ‘day’ is based on a calendar day, so should you use your pass at 4 pm on Monday, Monday is counted as day one of your pass usage.
