I was delighted by the quick response from customer services when I contacted them with regard to a membership issue. I have just had the same issue with another membership, but that was only corrected when I rang them. I much prefer to email, than to hang around on the phone. So thank you English Heritage, you can be sure of my membership for many years.

I made a mistake when ordering Dover Castle admission tickets online that had the wrong date. I emailed the address given for contact requesting help and received a timely response from Audrette along with the correct tickets. Couldn't have gone better and I'm looking forward to my visit to the castle. Walt W.

Change of Membership type

I requested a change to Senior Membership (via my online account), and a few days later received an email to confirm my payment details had been amended. Since then I have received my new membership card with the old rate quoted (£84 Adult) but presumably the letter was printed out before the change was made.

Hi Sandra, thanks for your review! we're so glad we could help with your membership change. You are correct in thinking that we prepare our mailings in advance so your first card will have already been on the way to you before we changed this. Thanks again!

Customer service and English heritage sites

Called the customer service number to cancel our yearly membership. Ella was very friendly and helpful over the phone.

The English heritage sites we have visited over the last years have been amazing. Carisbrooke Castle and Osbourne House stood out for us. The activities for the kids at both the sites over the summer holidays were very engaging.
I'm sure we will rejoin in the future.
