The offers are part of the ninth annual National Lottery Open Week, which returns on Saturday, March 7, and runs until Sunday, March 15.
Anyone with a National Lottery ticket, scratchcard, or screenshot of a digital game can unlock special entry offers at hundreds of National Lottery-funded UK attractions as a thank you for supporting good causes.
Tickets, tours, talks, and other experiences will be available at venues spanning arts, heritage, sport, and community projects.
Darren Henley, chief executive of Arts Council England and chair of the National Lottery Forum, said: “We’re thrilled to bring back National Lottery Open Week 2026.
“This year, we’re inviting everyone to see a National Lottery ticket as more than just a chance to win.
“It’s a passport to discovery, unlocking joy, opportunity, and possibility in communities across the UK.
“From the nation’s most-loved museums and heritage sites to grassroots projects and hidden local gems, every ticket helps create something extraordinary.
“National Lottery Open Week is our way of saying thank you to the players who make this possible.
“Because of you, an incredible £32 million is raised each week for good causes, which helps fund vital projects in arts, sport, heritage and communities nationwide.
“Wherever your interests lie, there’s an experience waiting to be unlocked.”
