GIFT AID

West Dean Gardens is part of The Edward James Foundation, a registered educational charity. Consequently, if you are a UK taxpayer, and you are willing to pay 10% on top of the normal admission charge, the Foundation is able to treat the whole payment as a charitable donation and reclaim 28p in every £1 from the Government. This will further benefit the work of the Gardens and the Foundation. Read more here

As a thank you for your donation we will provide you with vouchers to spend in the Visitor Centre Shop or Restaurant which, if you were planning to use either of these, will actually reduce the cost of your visit. All we ask is that you complete a brief declaration on entry, or if you prefer you can download one here and complete it before your visit.

Registered Charity No: 306372

MEMBERSHIP TICKETS 
Adult   £25.00

There is no charge to visit the Gardens licensed restaurant, gift and garden shop. However, during event weekends there is no entry to the shop and restaurant without gardens admission - we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
