Changes to RSN Friends Membership from 1 November 2026.

 

From 1 November 2026, our existing RSN Standard Friends and Stitching Friends memberships will be combined into a single enhanced RSN Friends membership at £55/year for everyone.

If you wish to purchase a membership between now and 31st October 2026, please bear in mind your benefits will be updated from 1st November 2026.

From 1 November 2026 the new RSN Friends membership will include:

  • 10% discount on purchases in the RSN Shop, both online and at Hampton Court Palace.
  • 10% discount on online talks and tours.
  • Exclusive 72-hour priority booking period on selected classes, including a 10% discount during this window. The RSN Friend membership holder may claim the 10% discount during the priority booking period. This discount can be used once per class, for the named RSN Friend only.
  • Advance information on upcoming classes, events and Collection and Archive exhibitions.
  • Invitation for the member and one guest to the annual Friends Open Day.
  • Biannual digital Friends newsletter.
  • Annual update on RSN developments and future plans.

A single global pricing structure will replace the current UK and International rates, creating a simpler and more consistent membership offer. We believe these changes will allow us to continue providing meaningful benefits to our Friends while protecting the charity’s ability to fulfil its mission for future generations.

If you wish to cancel your membership, you may do so at any time. Please note that membership fees are non-refundable. If you pay by Direct Debit, you will need to cancel this directly with your bank to prevent future payments. We would appreciate being informed so that we can update our records accordingly.

Thank you for your continued support of the RSN and the art of hand embroidery.

Thank you.
