50 for Free

Free short breaks in extraordinary places for charities

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 and offered to 50 organisations.

In spring 2025, we will launch a special iteration of the scheme, celebrating our 60th anniversary with '60 for Free'. Applications will open in March with stays for 60 groups taking place in November 2025. 

Previous years' 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. 

Each year, applicants choose from a selection of Landmarks across England, Wales, Scotland and 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 beneficiaries to take a short break that suits their needs. 

Since 50 for Free launched in 2015, Landmark has given over 3,386 people in need of a holiday, a moment of respite, valuable time with loved ones, or a break from everyday life in extraordinary places.
