National Lottery funded attractions say #ThanksToYou
for 25 years of support
The National Museum of Flight will be throwing open its doors for free to National Lottery players on 23 and 24 November. It is one of hundreds of National Lottery funded venues and visitor attractions across the UK saying #ThanksToYou to people who have raised money for good causes by buying a lottery ticket.
More than £40 billion has been raised for good causes by players over the past 25 years in the areas of arts, sport, heritage and community.
Use any National Lottery ticket – old or new – to get free entry to the National Museum of Flight and other lottery funded projects across the UK.

The National Museum of Flight has received £1.3 million from the National Lottery. The money has helped to pay for the redevelopment of two nationally significant Second World War hangars, devoted to military and civil aviation.
Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: “This year the National Lottery turns 25, and what better way to say thank you than offering special offers at some of the places that players have helped fund.
“It’s not only our wonderful heritage sites that are offering thanks – we also have free entry and special offers at National Lottery funded arts, sports and community attractions – all the places that make the UK such a great place to live.”
Steve McLean, General Manager at the National Museum of Flight said: “Funding from the National Lottery has enabled us to redevelop two of our nationally significant Second World War hangars. Devoted to military and civil aircraft, they explore a century of aviation and present the incredible stories of some of the people behind the planes.
That’s why we are offering free entry to people who visit with a National Lottery ticket – it’s a way of saying thank you to the people who have helped fund us.”
