What is 50 for Free?

50 for Free offers free stays at Landmark Trust properties for charities and non-profit organisations, an initiative first developed ahead of Landmark’s 50th anniversary. Since 2015, the scheme has benfitted 3,386 people in need of a holiday, a moment of respite, valuable time with loved ones, or a break from everyday life.

Each year, applicants choose from a selection of Landmarks across England, Wales, Scotland or even a trip by helicopter to stay on the island of Lundy. Some select their local Landmark whilst others opt for an exciting adventure further afield, enabling service users to take a short break that suits their needs. 

Highlights from 50 for Free 2024

Last year's beneficiaries include hospices, full-time carers, food bank volunteers and veterans; charities who support people with rare health conditions, gambling addiction and disability; and organisations who provide services to those who have experienced domestic abuse, loneliness and poor mental health.
