HOW DOES IT WORK?

What you will receive

Once you have bought your gift membership online, you will be sent a gift membership code by email, which you can pass on to the recipient of your gift. This code will be needed to activate the membership.

A physical Gift Membership Pack will also be posted to you within 2 working days which will include a beautiful welcome card, outlining our membership benefits, as well as the same gift membership code sent to you by email.

If you wish to keep the gift membership a surprise for the recipient(s), make sure to only use your details when purchasing. You can then personally pass on the gift membership voucher code and/or physical gift membership pack for them to redeem in their own time*.

*Within twelve months of purchase date
