RHS Harlow Carr offers entry for just £1

Thursday, 26 February 2026 at 10:40

RHS Garden Harlow Carr is offering discounted entry for Lottery players.

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is offering cheaper entry to its five iconic Gardens thanks to this year's National Lottery Open Week.

The week, running from 7-14 March, will see entry prices slashed to £1 - including at RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate.

Open Week thanks National Lottery players for raising £30 million for good causes every week by offering free entry, discounts and exclusive deals at attractions across the UK.

During National Lottery Open Week, visitors who present a digital or physical National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard or Instant Win game will pay just £1 admission per person for up to four people.

The offer is running at RHS Bridgewater in Greater Manchester, RHS Harlow Carr in Yorkshire, RHS Hyde Hall in Essex, RHS Rosemoor in Devon and RHS Wisley in Surrey.

A spokesperson said:

“The recent mild temperatures have meant that spring is quickly arriving at RHS Gardens making it an exciting time to visit as flowers burst into bloom and fill the gardens with pockets of vibrant colour, from bright blue pushkinias to luscious yellow daffodils to camellia’s, cyclamen, magnificent magnolias and early blossom.”

They added:

“Young visitors can also join Mr Toad, Ratty, Mole and Badger at each garden for a brand-new interactive garden trail, based on the well-loved book The Wind in the Willows.

“The adventurous routes explore iconic sights and bring plenty of storybook magic using the rich, nature-based world of The Wind in the Willows to spark curiosity about wildlife, habitats, and the importance of protecting the natural environment. “

The National Lottery Heritage Fund has supported the RHS Gardens in many important ways, including free gardening activities and events in local communities.

The restoration of the historic laboratory at RHS Wisley and the creation of a centre for horticultural science and learning were also made possible via a grant from the Fund.
