England’s largest festival of history and culture takes place every September!
Hundreds of venues across the country organise special events or offer free admission. Our museums have taken part in various ways over the years. The theme for 2026 is Everyday Lives, so you can expect our little Cottage Museum to be the star of the show this autumn.
Heritage Open Days will return 11-20 September 2026.
