If I sign up to become a Member of the Museum, will I be able to use my card for discount immediately?
Yes. If you have not yet received your welcome pack and membership card you can still make use of the benefits. If you wish to visit the exhibition, use the Members discount on-site in the shop or in the restaurant, please show your confirmation email.
As a Member, do I need to book a ticket to visit the permanent collection?
No, visitors can enjoy free entry to the permanent collection and no booking is required.
I am an individual member, can I bring a guest with me when I visit or come to events?
If you and your guest are visiting the Permanent Collection, you both must book permanent collection tickets online. If you both wish to visit the temporary exhibition, your guest will need to book an exhibition ticket. Only those with an active Membership can take part in exclusive Member’s Events.
Can I add a donation to my Membership subscription?
We are delighted to receive additional donations, either as a regular part of your annual subscription, e.g. by Direct Debit, or as a one-off amount added to a cheque or card payment. If you wish to add to your Direct Debit amount, please just get in touch.
How do I book tickets for Members-only events?
You can book spaces for Members-only events in the Members' Area, by emailing members@wallacecollection.org or calling us on +44 (0)20 7563 9522.
Can I upgrade to a different level of membership?
Yes. You can upgrade at any point during your subscription year on payment of the difference in price. As joint members, you and a named other guest can both benefit from all the perks of being a member. If you want to upgrade to a different level of membership, please let us know at members@wallacecollection.org.
Can I downgrade to a different level of membership?
You can downgrade on renewal. If you pay by Direct Debit, please let us know in advance that you wish to downgrade so that we can adjust the amount on members@wallacecollection.org. If you pay by any other method, please just renew by purchasing the correct membership online or mark your renewal form accordingly and pay the lower price.
