Help support Strawberry Hill House
If you are a UK taxpayer and you make a donation that is over 10% greater than the admission price, the Government will give us an extra 25% on top of your entrance fee, at no additional cost to you. It’s called a Gift Aid visit and makes a massive difference to charities like us. Gift Aid is of course entirely voluntary. If you are a UK Tax payer and would like to add the donation and Gift Aid to your visit, then please select "Include Donation with my Purchase" below.
