Members get more
Becoming a Member of We The Curious has a whole load of benefits.
Not only are you getting a great deal, but you’re also supporting the work we do as a charity - building a future where everyone is included, curious and inspired by science.
Annual membership typically costs less than three one-off visits, and you can come back as many times as you like!
What's more, when you join on the day of your visit, or within seven days of a visit, we’ll deduct the standard entrance fee paid - just make a note of your order number or keep your ticket confirmation and the refund will apply to those named in the Membership.

Pay monthly for Membership
To help make Membership more affordable, you can now spread the cost of annual Membership over 10 monthly Direct Debit payments.
Gift Aid
We The Curious is an educational charity (number 1049954). We need your support to keep our doors open and to continue our work with local schools and communities.
When you sign up as a member or renew, you have the option to add Gift Aid to your membership as long as you pay enough tax.
This doesn't cost you anything, but it means that We The Curious can claim 25% of the cost of your annual membership fee directly from the government.
If you're elligible to do so, please do! This extra income makes a huge difference to us.
Membership renewals
If your membership has recently expired or is nearing expiry, you can continue to enjoy all the benefits of being a member by renewing.
To renew please complete a Membership Renewal Form and return to us by email.
Gift Membership
Give the gift of curiosity and buy Membership as a gift! We'll send you a voucher for you to pass on, or we can send the voucher directly to the recipient with a note from you.
The Gift Membership only starts from the date the recipient redeems the voucher allowing them to benefit from a full year’s Membership.
To give a gift that lasts a year, please complete our Gift Membership Form and return it to us by email. You will then recieve a Gift Membership voucher for you to give to the lucky recipient.
Direct Debit payments
To make paying for Membership as easy as possible, we offer two Direct Debit schemes.
Annual: This is a single Direct Debit payment made each year. Your Membership will automatically renew at the end of the year, so you don’t have to lift to finger to keep supporting We The Curious.
Monthly: Monthly Direct Debit payments make Membership more affordable than ever. This is the cost of annual Membership spread over 10 equal payments made in consecutive months. Your Membership will automatically renew at the end of the year, so you don’t have to lift a finger to keep supporting We The Curious.
