Free entry to Tredegar House near Newport this March
Visitors to a 17th-century mansion near Newport will be able to enter for free this March.
Tredegar House, run by the National Trust, is one of hundreds of National Lottery-funded venues and attractions across the UK offering free and discounted entry as part of National Lottery Open Week.
The initiative is a thank you to players for the £30 million they raise for good causes every week.
From Saturday, March 15, to Sunday, March 23, anyone with a valid online or retail National Lottery ticket, scratch card, or instant win game can enjoy a low-cost day out at these venues.
Dyffryn Gardens in Cardiff will also be offering free entry, while Cardiff Castle will be offering 50 per cent off tickets from March 17 to 21.
The Wales Millennium Centre, meanwhile, will be offering two-for-one on backstage tours on March 21.
Darren Henley, chief executive of Arts Council England and chair of the National Lottery Forum, said: "National Lottery Open Week is a chance to get outside and explore the UK's rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture through free and low-cost days out.
"We're thrilled to bring back National Lottery Open Week for another year.
"It's our way of thanking National Lottery players who raise £30 million every week for good causes, supporting vital projects in arts, sports, heritage, and communities nationwide."
