Heritage Open Days

Heritage Open Days is England’s largest festival of history and culture, and over ten days in September, venues across the district will throw open their doors for FREE, inviting you to come and discover hidden places, peek behind the scenes and try out new experiences.

England’s contribution to the European Heritage Days scheme and co-ordinated today by the National Trust with support from players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, it’s known as ‘the local national festival’.

This year the festival focuses on ‘Routes - Networks - Connections’. We will be celebrating how people and ideas have moved around and come together throughout history. The transport routes, communication networks, trade unions and social clubs. The travellers who have spread ideas and the hosts who welcome them. There are so many stories on our doorsteps just waiting to be uncovered!
