This guidance will provide clubs with support regarding submitting a permissions request to host club training, activities or events at a National Trust countryside or property.

On the 10th February 2026, the National Trust joined British Orienteering at the Development Conference. The session took members through the National Trust's REPS process, and the documentation required to enquire about hosting an orienteering event at a National Trust countryside or property.

If you are looking to organise an event or activity at a National Trust site, this resource may be useful to understand the permissions process.

National Trust have created a sustainability resource for all users of outdoor spaces, to think about what can be done to reduce the impact on the environment.
The National Trust's Experience Exchange of Information form gathers more details about your event and shares minimum standards around environmental sustainability.
Please note, you do not need to complete this form unless the NT team request it.

This is an example of the REPS schedule that is used in conjunction with the National Trust's license or contract agreement.
