Update July 31, 2026: We're excited to share that the Pokémon GO and National Trust partnership has been extended until December 31, 2026! Trainers can continue to enjoy local Timed Research and Raid Battles with site Location Background at participating National Trust sites through the end of the year, alongside the existing PokéStops, Gyms, and Routes available to explore.
This summer, Pokémon GO is teaming up with the National Trust to inspire Trainers to get outside, explore remarkable sites, and create unforgettable memories with family and friends.
From historic houses and castles to gardens, parklands, and coastal landscapes, the National Trust offers countless opportunities for adventure. Trainers will be able to enjoy special Pokémon GO activities at participating National Trust locations across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland from July 18 to September 6.
All Summer Long (July 18 to September 6)
