Our Warwick Castle Member Day: a royal day out

Read time: 4 minutes

We’re here to help our members save on the moments they cherish, and our Member Days are the perfect way for them to enjoy time with their loved ones for less. They are exclusive events held at some of the top UK attractions, open only to our Blue Light Card members.

Over the weekend, our Member Day at Warwick Castle saw the gates close to the general public, leaving the castle’s ground free for our members to explore. The day was filled with wholesome fun and spectacular shows. It was also a great opportunity for our Blue Light Card team to meet with some of our community.

For some, this was their first Member Day; for others, another opportunity to create lasting memories with their friends and family. Let’s dive into what made our Warwick Castle Member Day so special.

The warmest of welcomes.

As the gates opened, we wanted our members to have a royal welcome. They were greeted by our very own regal button – Pete the Treat. He was there to meet our guests and give out his very own emergency treats. All they had to do was press the button and they got to tuck into a chocolate coin.

The Blue Light Card team had fun activities waiting for our members on the castle grounds. There was a load of treats, toys and merchandise up for grabs for all ages. How did they win? They either played on our spin to win or took a chance on our lucky dip.

We also hosted a free facepainting stand for the kids to feel magical. Whether the little ones wanted to be as strong as a knight, as pretty as a princess or as brave as a dragon, they were able to be anything they wanted to be!

Enjoying the benefits of a Member Day.

Throughout the day, our members were able to enjoy the added benefits of Blue Light Card hosting an exclusive event at Warwick Castle. Before they even arrived, attendees saved over £12 per ticket compared to a normal day rate, helping them enjoy a family day out for less. This was the perfect perk to have as it meant they could enjoy a cheaper family day out. Another added bonus was the complimentary parking. Members could park at Warwick Castle for free, saving them an extra £7 on the day.

What’s great is our Member Days are only open for the Blue Light Card community. Warwick Castle shut their gates to the general public and opened the castle grounds for only our members to explore. This meant all attendees could make the most of what the day had to offer thanks to the smaller crowds. No matter the service you work in, everyone with a Blue Light Card, along with up to five extra family and friends, can enjoy Member Days and all these perks too!

A day of spectacular shows.

Warwick Castle is famous for their legendary events. Our members were able to enjoy these performances with smaller crowds. One of the adventures they could be part of was The Falconers Quest. A show where viewers saw sixty different birds of prey swoop over their heads, leaving them in awe.

Our members witnessed fearless knights roam the castle, with one on their mighty stead. They stopped to take photos with everyone as well as thrilling the crowds with a sword fight.

There was also the chance for members to watch Britain’s largest working siege machine at work at The Legend of the Trebuchet show. Members immersed themselves in the action as the unlikely heroes band together to defend the castle.

Have you ever met Zog? Well, the little budding dragons among our community could meet their favourite dragon, just by being at our member day. He was a right poser – taking photos with everyone! It was the perfect meet and greet.

Room for one more?

Our 2025 Member Day fun doesn’t stop with Warwick Castle. Our Autumn events have been hugely popular, with five events already sold out! But don’t worry – there’s still time to join us at Chessington World of Adventures, where tickets are still available.

It’s a great family day out where you get to explore a theme park, zoo, and a SEA LIFE centre all for £25 per person. Our Chessington Member Days will take place on Sunday 9th, Saturday 15th, and Sunday 16th November 2025. You could make it an overnight adventure by booking a discounted hotel stay whilst you’re there – the perfect solution to rest before you hit the road again.

Sound fun? Secure your tickets here so you don’t miss out!

We look forward to seeing you later this year at our final Member Days of 2025!
