Eden Project Locals' Pass

Between 26 December 2025 and 4 January 2026 Locals' Pass Holders can bring a guest into the Eden Project for free, and get 10% off in all food venues and gift shops on site. This does not include purchases made in our online shop. 

A Locals' Pass holder must be accompanying their guest on arrival, tickets are limited and must be pre-booked here ahead of your visit. 

To claim 10% off purchases you must present your Locals' Pass at the start of the transaction. 

Who can I bring?

Every Locals' Pass holder can bring one free guest each, of any age every day. 

Children under the age of five get free entry to the Eden Project, with a maximum of four under 5s per accompanying adult. Under 5s must have a free pre-booked time slot to guarantee entry.

How do I book? 

You can book this offer here by selecting how many Locals' Pass holders will be attending, followed by your visit date and time. When you continue to checkout, there will be the option to add your free guest/s. You'll also have the option to add tickets for our Christmas Lights Experience and ice skating, which have an additional charge for all Locals' Pass holders and their guests. 

Can my guest stay for the Christmas lights? 

You and your guest are welcome to enjoy the festivities of our Outdoor Gardens and food venues right up until we close at 8pm with your free tickets, but you and your guest will need to book separate Christmas Lights Experience tickets if you would like to explore inside our sparkling Biomes after-dark. You will get the option to add these tickets when you book your visit. 

Please note, the Biomes will close to day visitors at 3.15pm, and reopen for those with Christmas Lights Experience tickets at 4pm.

Is ice skating free for my guest?

No, all Locals' Pass holders and their guests must book ice skating tickets. We recommend pre-booking your session to avoid disappoint. 

Does my guest need to live in Cornwall or Devon?

No, your guest can live anywhere, so you are welcome to bring friends and family who are visiting you over the Christmas period.

Locals’ Passes are available exclusively to residents of Cornwall and Devon, and purchasers do require proof of residence. Ownership of a second or holiday home in Cornwall or Devon does not qualify you for this offer. When you first visit with your Locals' Pass please bring with you the appropriate forms of identity, chosen from the list below:

Either:

Proof of residence with photo ID

Ideally, you should bring one piece of identity that shows your primary residence in either Devon or Cornwall (i.e. postcodes starting with TR, PL, TQ or EX), and has your photo on, such as a driving licence showing your current address.

Or:

Non-photo proof of residence plus photo ID

If your photo ID does not show your Cornwall or Devon address (i.e. it is a bus pass or work badge and does not show your address), please also bring in additional proof of your residence in Cornwall or Devon, such as a utility bill.

Or:

Three forms of proof of residence

If you have no photo ID at all, please bring three pieces of identity that show residence in either Devon or Cornwall (i.e. postcodes starting with TR, PL, TQ or EX), such as utility bills.

Proof of residence for children

Buying a Locals' Pass for your child as well? Simply bring them along with you, and we'll use your own proof of residence. If you're sending them along with an adult who doesn't live at your house, please get them to bring in your own proof of residence.  

All visitors to Eden are strongly encouraged to pre-book a time slot in advance of each visit, including Locals' Passholders.  

Your Locals' Pass gives you entry to the Eden Project, and access to many of our events throughout the year. Some activities and events require additional tickets.  

Please bring your Locals' Pass with you when you visit Eden.
