"Unpaid carers make an incredible difference to our local communities."
Unpaid carers across Leicestershire are being offered all-year-round free entry to two county attractions this summer.
Free standard adult admission is available at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre and 1620s House and Gardens for anyone with a valid carers passport identity card.
Tickets will be valid for 12 months from the date of issue and the carers passport holder will also be eligible for a free tea or coffee - and cake at 1620s house - on their first visit.
Leader of Leicestershire County Council, Dan Harrison, said: “Unpaid carers make an incredible difference to our local communities, and we want carers across the county to have the opportunity to enjoy our attractions.
“If you’re a carer and haven’t registered for your passport yet, I’d like to encourage you to do so and take advantage of this offer. By registering you will also have access to the Leicestershire Support for Carers service which provides advice and support on our behalf."
Carers need to bring their passport when visiting the attractions and claim their free tickets by 31 August.
Carers passports are an ID card for adults caring for a loved one, friend or neighbour aged 18 and over living in Leicestershire who could not manage without their support, and they are not employed to look after them.
