National Lottery Week returns this year with loads of benefits for our gallery visitors!
From Thursday, 20 March, to Sunday, 23 March, visitors who present a valid online or retail National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard, or Instant Win Game will be entitled to a 10% discount on all items available in our bookshop. This includes film rolls, cameras, and various other goodies (few book recommendations here!).
Meanwhile during 22–23 March 2024 during National Lottery Open Week we are giving a free set of postcards from us when you present your National Lottery ticket.
As £30 million is raised for Good Causes every week by players, hundreds of The National Lottery UK funded venues across the UK will be offering free entry, discounts and special offers throughout National Lottery Open Week, come and visit us to unlock what we, as a photography gallery, have to offer!
We are so grateful for a chance to be part of it and for the ways it allowed us to reach communities all across Liverpool region and beyond. One of the most recognised projects is TreeStory, which allows people to share their story – their experience of living alongside various types of tress in the Liverpool City Region. You can still submit your stories here.
Sarah Fisher, Open Eye Gallery director, said:
– Open Eye Gallery is proud to be part of The National Lottery Open Week this year. The National Lottery has enabled new communities to explore their stories through photography, celebrating trees and their place in our communities, TreeStory.me. Our sincere thanks to everyone who has bought a National Lottery ticket, making a vital contribution to good causes and in turn, supporting us. We’re looking forward to welcoming players to Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool during Open Week!
Darren Henley, Chief Executive of Arts Council England and Chair of the National Lottery Forum said: “We’re excited to bring back National Lottery Open Week 2025! Life’s pace often pushes us to say ‘no’ to things we want to do, prioritising instead the things we think we ‘should do’. National Lottery Open Week is a chance to say ‘yes’ to joyful experiences – exploring the UK’s rich history, stunning landscapes and vibrant culture through free and low-cost days out. It is our way of thanking National Lottery players who raise £30 million every week for Good Causes, supporting vital projects in arts, sports, heritage, and communities nationwide.”
