Clavell Tower, Dorset Heritage Open Days celebrates England’s architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee.
England’s biggest voluntary cultural event also includes tours, and activities that focus on local architecture and heritage.
Around one million people are expected to visit thousands of diverse heritage sites this September, from a hydro power station in Devon to a pyramid in Whitstable.
September 10th - 13th 2009
Events are taking place between Thursday September 10th and Sunday September 13th 2009. For more information on times and pre-booking details please check the Heritage Open Days website at www.heritageopendays.org.uk or contact English Heritage customer services on 0870 333 1181 or 1182.
Future secured by English Heritage
Heritage Open Days is part of European Heritage Days, taking place across 49 countries during September as part of a mass celebration of Europe’s cultural heritage.
English Heritage took ownership of Heritage Open Days in May 2009, securing the future of this popular cultural event and reassuring one million participants and 35,000 volunteer organisers by guaranteeing that it will take place this year.
