Free entry for badge holders

The Jane Austen Centre is one of over 200 attractions around the UK that Blue Peter badge holders can get into for free.

To gain free entry, each child must have a Blue Peter badge, a valid Blue Peter badge ID card and be accompanied by a full paying or concessionary adult. If a paying adult is accompanied by two children with badges and valid badge cards, free entry will be given for both children.

If a disabled badge holder is accompanied by a registered carer, both can gain free entry. Carers must bring supporting documents.

Blue Peter Badge holders cannot redeem their free ticket in conjunction with organised third-party tour company bookings. The Regency Tea Room is located on the second floor of the Jane Austen Centre and does not come included with the Blue Peter badge discount.

Before you visit any of the attractions, grab a grown-up and read the Blue Peter Badge Attractions Terms and Conditions.
