Group visits at Hardwick

Group bookings at Hardwick Hall

Hardwick welcomes groups of at least 15 people (a maximum of 55), whether National Trust members or not, who can pay in one transaction for the visit. To qualify for the group offer, you must book in advance.

Please note that pre-booking your group visit is essential. Failure to pre-book your visit may result in your coach being turned away if Hardwick is at maximum capacity.

Pricing

Admission is free for National Trust members, and non-members will pay a group rate of 5% discount off the standard adult price.

Payment for all non-members will be taken on the day at Visitor Reception. Payment is taken by card only.

School visits

Schools or education groups can benefit from an Education Group Access Pass, which gives the whole group free admission and parking at most of the places in our care for a year.

Who is eligible for free entry?

Registered tourist board guides (on production of a valid badge), coach drivers and tour leaders escorting groups of 15 or more. National Trust members also receive free entry, so it is at your discretion whether to refund the entrance fee to members if you have included it in your package – this is not refunded by the National Trust.

Members must bring their current membership cards with them to avoid paying the full group rate. If any of your group would like to join the National Trust please direct them to our Membership page or call 0344 800 1895.
