Tate Members FAQs

Members enjoy unlimited free entry to exhibitions and collection displays – no need to book, just turn up with your card.

If you have already created an online account, you can sign in and access your Members offers.

If you’ve forgotten your password you can reset it.

This varies by membership type:

• ‘Member’ means you can visit for free on your own
• ‘Member plus guest’ means you can bring one guest
• ‘Member plus guest plus extra card’ means you can bring up to three guests

If you need to check your membership type, just log in to your account.

All Members can bring up to six children who are 16 years old or under.

By adding the £12 Tate Liverpool or Tate St Ives Extra Cards to your membership, you’ll get access to exclusive benefits:

• You can bring three guests when you visit Tate Liverpool or Tate St Ives, whatever your core membership type
• You’ll be invited to exclusive Private Views at these galleries
• By adding this bolt-on you make your support for these galleries go even further: from community, family, and research programmes to exhibitions and displays.

This membership is ideal for families – you’ll receive two membership cards, each admitting two adults and up to six family children to exhibitions and Members Rooms.

The second cardholder can visit Tate independently, they’ll either need to use the main membership account or call us on +44 (0)20 7887 8888 (open daily).

You’ll receive one issue of Tate Etc. magazine, listings guides and e-bulletins per membership.

You can use your membership straightaway – you’ll receive a digital card via email which you can use to access exhibitions and Members Rooms (this is sent to you by email on the day your membership starts) or you can visit the membership desk in any gallery, and they can print you a physical card on the spot.

You should receive your membership pack, including your membership card, within two weeks of the start of your membership.

You can download your digital card or request a new one via post from My Account, or just drop by a Membership desk in any Tate gallery next time you visit and they can print you a new card.

Your old card will be cancelled to protect against misuse.

You can use your main membership card to visit any gallery, but you can’t use Tate Liverpool or St Ives extra cards to bring guests to Tate Modern or Tate Britain.

The same applies for Private Views – you’ll need a London Private View pass to attend Private Views at Tate Modern and Tate Britain. To upgrade your membership please give us a call on +44 (0)20 7887 8888 (open daily).

No, Membership cards can only be used by the named Member or Associate Member.

Members provide vital financial support to Tate so we ask that you please don’t lend your card to non-Members. If you need the flexibility of a spare card, you can upgrade to Plus Extra Card membership and get two membership cards – each admitting two people.

Or, if you know someone who would enjoy the benefits of membership, why not give a gift membership?

Since our last price review in 2021, the cost of running our galleries has risen. From 5 September 2024, a small increase in membership prices will help us continue to care for our collection, inspire future generations, and provide art for all.

If your current year of Tate membership began before 5 September 2024, the price of your membership will not increase until it is time to renew again.
