National Lottery Open Week is run every year as a way of saying thank you to players of the National Lottery, as a portion of the money raised each week goes to good causes.
In general, to receive free entry - or some other kind of bonus - visitors need to being with them a scratchcard or National Lottery ticket, or proof of purchase. National Trust properties across the country are taking part, including many in Hampshire, as well as several attractions in Portsmouth.
Portsmouth City Council Cllr Steve Pitt said: “The National Lottery Heritage Fund has enabled and made a significant contribution to the development of multiple projects across our museums which form a valued part of the cultural offer in our city. I am delighted we are once again supporting National Lottery open week which will enable visitors to experience what our museums have to offer, and the important stories they tell."
