Danielle Papagapiou, Head of Loyalty at M&S said: 'Alongside our ever popular in-store treats and rewards, our relaunched Sparks scheme also brings fantastic experiences and discounts to Sparks customers. We're delighted to be launching this amazing deal with English Heritage which comes at a perfect time for our 10m+ customers, with the kickstart of summer now upon us and many planning a staycation holiday. As we all start to prepare our plans for the summer, we know these 133 sites will be incredibly popular with families up and down the country - and with even more partnerships in the pipeline, there's never been a better time to join Sparks and take advantage of its many benefits this summer and beyond.'

Louise Dando, Head of Visitor Marketing at English Heritage said: 'We're delighted to be teaming up with M&S to bring Sparks customers half price admission to some of England's most important historic sites this summer. From the majestic Dover Castle in Kent to the unique palace-by-the sea of Osborne on the Isle of Wight to the glorious gardens of Brodsworth Hall in South Yorkshire, all our sites have amazing tales to tell and offer a day out to remember for everyone. So whether you're planning to visit whilst holidaying in England or just on a day trip from home, we hope this great offer will inspire many more to step into England's story, and at the same time, help our charity to care for these amazing places for future generations to enjoy.'

Good things happen every time you shop

The partnership with English Heritage is the latest example of M&S's commitment to offering rewarding and engaging experiences for its Sparks customers following its relaunch as a digital first loyalty scheme last year.

As part of this, M&S has also been surprising and delighting one customer per store per week by gifting them their entire basket for free. Over 55k customers have won their shopping in this way - including Mr & Mrs Jarvis (to be) at our Milton Keynes store who won £3400 worth of furniture for their new home (right).

Since relaunch, more than 3 million additional customers have joined Sparks, taking the total member base to over 10 million - and the M&S Loyalty team are continually looking for new innovative ways to reward, interact and engage with this growing community.
