Annual Membership Pricing
Our competitive Annual Membership rates are given below.
Annual Membership tickets can be Gift Aided at no extra cost to you.
Due to spiralling operational costs, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to increase our admission and Annual Membership costs from January 2025. It’s the first time they’ve increased in the 11 years since the Museum opened.

Annual Membership Terms and Conditions
What does Annual Membership cover?
Your annual membership entitles you to unlimited access to the Museum galleries and café during the Museum’s opening hours on open days for 12 months from the start of the membership, with the exception of up to 5 days per year for special Museum events which will require a separate paid ticket to attend.
Can I give my Annual Membership Card to family and friends to use?
Annual membership cards may only be used by the person named on the card.
Please present your membership card and photo I.D. at Reception on arrival when visiting either the galleries or café.
Can my child use the Annual Membership Card on school visits to Bentley Priory Museum?
No, unfortunately not, as the content and support for school visits vary greatly from general visits, school visits are not included in the cost of general admissions.
What do I do if I lose my Annual Membership Card?
If you lose your annual membership card or it is stolen, we can issue a replacement for an administrative fee of £3.00. Please come to the Museum Reception on one of our open days to arrange this.
Can I pay the difference in ticket price to change my single admission to Annual Membership?
Yes, you can pay the difference between your single admission and Annual Membership to change your single admission to Annual Membership. Please note that this can only be done on the day of your visit.
Bentley Priory Museum is an Independent Museum and registered charity (1115243).
