National Trust presents Heritage Open Days again this September with ‘Astounding Inventions’.
So if you’re looking for something to do in September, there’s plenty to choose from! England’s largest festival of history and culture, Heritage Open Days is back from 9-18 September. The festival is presented by National Trust, supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and run by thousands of local organisations and volunteers.
Enjoy free access to experiences and events across England.
Each year places across the country, including select National Trusts sites near you, throw open their doors and give people the chance to see hidden places. You can also try new experiences for free.
This year’s theme ‘Astounding Inventions’ will be adopted by many events across the UK. The theme celebrates cutting-edge creations that make our lives easier and the imaginative inventors behind them.
