Membership updates for 2025

26 March 2025

You will notice in particular that we have been pruning and clearing a lot dense vegetation areas, opening up some wonderful views around the gardens. We also have exciting events planned all year, including the summer-long Jurassic Furzey.

Over the last few months we have carried out a review of our membership donation levels, in the face of steep rising costs. We are always looking for ways to ensure that our membership offers the best value to visitors whilst enabling the gardens to flourish and help gardeners with learning disabilities to thrive.

As such, membership prices are rising slightly this year, but we are also excited to be including two single guest passes for each standard member. We hope that you will share the magic of Furzey Gardens with friends and family and introduce people to our beautiful space.

Your guest passes will be in the form of two checkboxes on each membership card, which will be initialled by the welcome host when you use them on the gate. Guest passes only apply for memberships that are taken out from 1 April. This includes renewals, so once you come to renew your membership your newly issued cards will contain the passes on them.

This means that if you use your guest passes then membership of Furzey is better value than ever and continues to be much more affordable than nearly all other local gardens and attractions.

Our suggested donation amounts for standard membership in 2025 will be: 

These changes will take effect from 1 April 2025.  Members continue to receive free admission for up to four children aged under 16 and discounts in the tea rooms and other local businesses.

Our lifetime membership offer remains unchanged.

Single £475

Two person £925
