What is Gift Aid?
Our venues offer the option to Gift Aid your visit. Gift Aid is a UK government scheme, administered by the HM Revenue and Customs Department, which allows charities to reclaim an extra 25p for every £1 you spend on daily entry tickets.
Lakeland Arts is a registered charity and the voluntary donations we receive from Gift Aid makes a significant and valuable boost to our places’ funds.
Making a Gift Aid donation today will help us to:
- Care for our buildings and permanent collections. Our collection holds a wealth of 18th and 19th century paintings and watercolours, modern and contemporary art, Windermere steamboats and Lake District social and industrial history. Our venues range from Grade 1 listed galleries to award-winning contemporary museums.
- Develop and deliver an exciting programme of exhibitions, events and learning programmes for local communities and wider audiences.
- Create new opportunities for children and young people so they can experience and be inspired by arts and heritage.
- Offer high quality visitor experiences across all our venues.
Under this scheme, if you are a UK taxpayer and are not a member of Lakeland Arts, you have the choice of four entry tickets.

Gift Aid donations are voluntary, but Lakeland Arts will offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid entry price and the standard entry price. It’s up to you which ticket you choose.
