Admission Prices

We offer two rates of Entrance Fees - Standard Admission & Gift Aid Admission.

Gift Aid is a very simple way a U.K. taxpayer can help support a charity.

Gift Aid Admission to Chalice Well includes a voluntary minimum 10% donation on top of the Standard Entry Fees. This will allow the Chalice Well Trust to treat the whole entry fee paid as a donation on which we can claim a tax refund from the government.

To be eligible you need to pay an amount of income or capital gains tax annually equivalent to the amount of tax we reclaim on your donation.

Your donation will help to preserve this Living Sanctuary for all.

"The true meaning of life is to plant a tree under whose shade you do not expect to sit".

Help us sustain this Living Sanctuary & The Planet

One of the founding aims of the Chalice Well Trust is to beautify and sanctify the Well and surrounding Gardens and this includes reducing our environmental and ecological footprint, so we need your help. As a visitor you have a very important role to play in helping us to conserve our natural assets and become a more sustainable destination. We recognize that all life is connected and that how we live and what we do has a wider impact on our beautiful planet. We can all reduce our impact on the environment by making choices.

Here are some ideas on how you can help:

Conserve Energy

If you are a Companion staying in one of our two retreat houses, reduce energy by switching off lights and closing windows if heating is on. The Energy Saving Trust also provides information on what you can do at home. http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk

Give the Car a Rest

Leave the car behind, if only for a day. Walk, cycle or use public transport. We will happily provide you with advice.

Shop Local

Use local products, they give you a flavour of the area and help support local communities. We are fortunate to have some fantastic producers of food, drink and arts and crafts. Ask us about local markets or local produce.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Try to avoid overly packaged goods and say no to that extra carrier bag. You can also support us in our efforts to recycle – please ask staff for more details.http://www.recyclenow.com

Be Water Wise

The UK has rising costs for water treatment and flood defence so please use water wisely. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth and adhere to towel policies or other water saving initiatives

Respect Nature

Help us to look after the landscape and wildlife by not littering, guarding against fire and using footpaths and cycle-ways responsibly. Ensure you follow the Countryside Code

Support Green Businesses

There are thousands of businesses in the British Isles working to reduce their carbon footprint through the Green Tourism Business Scheme. http://www.green-business.co.uk
