Give the gift of Ness for Christmas!
A membership makes the ideal gift that lasts all year round. Either purchase online or in the visitor centre.
If posted the welcome pack can be sent direct to the new members or to the person giving the gift (to give in person), the welcome letter will tell the new members who has bought them a gift (but not how much it cost). Purchase before 12 December to guarantee delivery before Christmas.
Packs can be purchased and collected from the visitor centre, and where possible we will process the membership and produce the welcome pack while you wait (if you have 20 minutes to spare) but if the membership team are not at home it is usually no more than 48 hours.
