Your 3-month Trial membership entitles you and a guest to unlimited free entry to every exhibition and Members Rooms at Tate until 30 April 2026.

The offer applies to new Members paying by Direct Debit only. You will be sent a reminder notice before the membership auto-renews and you can cancel at anytime after the trial membership fee has been taken.

You can purchase a Trial membership online. Trial memberships are available to buy until 31 January 2026 – don't delay and join today!

As a Trial Member, you pay by Direct Debit, so your membership will renew automatically unless you let us know you don't want to continue your membership. We will send a reminder notice before the membership renews automatically and you can cancel at any time after paying the trial membership fee.

This offer is available to new customers only and not those who have held a membership in the last year.

You can use your membership straightaway – you’ll receive a digital card via email which you can use to access exhibitions and Members Rooms (this is sent to you by email on the day your membership starts) or you can visit the membership desk in any gallery, and they can print you a physical card on the spot.

You should receive your membership card within two weeks of the start of your membership.

You can purchase a life membership online or ask at the front desk at Tate Modern and Tate Britain. We are selling a limited number of life memberships for a short time only – don't delay and join today!

If you are a Member or have gifted a membership, you can still purchase a Life membership immediately — they are available now for a limited time only. Don’t worry, you won’t lose any time on your current membership – your Life membership will automatically start when your current membership expires.

You will enjoy unlimited, free exhibition entry across all our galleries for the next 25 years. Plus, you’ll access stunning Members Rooms, dedicated opening hours, special events, a 10% shop discount*, and a quarterly subscription to Tate Etc. magazine and Tate Guide. As a Life Member, you can bring one guest with you and up to six children who are 16 years old or under.

Your support will help us care for the collection and inspire future generations for many years to come.

You will receive your welcome pack shortly after your purchase, regardless of your membership start date. Your life membership is wrapped in a unique box with a special edition membership card. We will also separately send you an exclusive gift just for you: a high-quality framed print of Matisse’s The Snail, a painting Tate acquired with the support of Members.

A complimentary companion pass can be applied to your membership package when you purchase it, or at any time thereafter. This allows free entry for your companion when your Membership card is scanned at the entrance of an exhibition. Contact us by email or phone to arrange this.

No, Membership cards can only be used by the named Member or Associate Member.

Members provide vital financial support to Tate so we ask that you please don’t lend your card to non-Members. If you need the flexibility of a spare card, you can upgrade to Plus Extra Card membership and get two membership cards – each admitting two people.

Or, if you know someone who would enjoy the benefits of membership, why not give a gift membership?
