Top 5 reasons to become a Friend of Markshall Estate
A lot of exciting changes have happened over the past year at Markshall Estate, from our new name to our new Shop. In the 50th year of the Charity we felt it was the perfect time to bring you even more, with a brand-new annual scheme with loads of new benefits – Friends of Markshall Estate.
Here’s our top five reasons why you should become our Friend…
Wollemi pines in Gondwanaland
- Markshall Estate is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle and relax in nature. By becoming a Friend, you will be giving vital support to our mission to connect people with nature. Your funds support our conservation work, our community engagement work, and our education programmes.
Family fun in North America
- Receiving free annual admission to the Arboretum means you can visit all throughout the year as many times as you like! See the seasons change from carpets of white snowdrops in the new year, glistening sun above the lakes in summer, to the crisp colours of changing leaves in autumn.
Join and enjoy exclusive Friends events
- You can get hands on and learn from our experienced Horticultural and Arboretum Teams. We’ll be hosting seasonal exclusive talks and tours for you to go behind the scenes and learn all about how we care for Markshall Estate, and giving you the chance to delve into our history.
Cream tea for two?
- You’ll receive 10% off in the Shop and Orchard Kitchen Café when you scan your card. So you can treat yourself to a cosy hot chocolate to keep you warm on your winter walk or have a browse to find the perfect gift from one of our eco-friendly suppliers. We all love a discount!
Find out what we’re getting up to in monthly newsletters
- We know our supporters really care about the work that goes on here, so we want to make sure you hear all about it. You’ll receive monthly newsletters to keep you up to date with our conservation work and get exclusive content such as tips and tricks from the Arboretum Team, seasonal highlights, events, and more!
