Mount Memories Pass

We understand that the Mount is important to people beyond west Cornwall. Every year 1,000 single use passes will be available to people who have a special emotional tie to the island or to mark a special occasion. Each pass will give a group of up to four people access to the castle and gardens for a one-off visit during opening hours. Applications for a Mount Memories Pass will need to be made in advance explaining the special link or occasion, e.g. having a relative who lived or worked on the Mount, or to celebrate a significant birthday or anniversary. We look forward to helping you make happy memories!

Reasons to request a pass could include:

• A special emotional tie to the island, e.g. the applicant or a family member used to work on the island or were married on the island

• To mark an occasion, a wedding anniversary or significant birthday

• To revive a happy memory, this could be as simple as having visited the island with a grandmother at a particular time of the year for a number of years

• To create a new memory, to propose to a partner or for parents to take children to the castle or garden for the first time

• To cheer up a loved one or a friend following a difficult time
