Open up for Heritage Open Days

Lancaster City Council is encouraging new venues across the district to sign up to this year’s Heritage Open Days.

Heritage Open Days is England's biggest heritage festival which celebrates its history, architecture and culture and offers people the chance to explore hidden places and buildings on their doorstep regardless of its age, style and function.

This year’s Heritage Open Days will be held on the 8-11 September.

Last year’s programme included tours of the city council’s town halls in Morecambe and Lancaster as well as guided walks of Warton Crags’ Iron Age Hillfort and Lancaster’s lost Lune Bank Gardens.  Buildings open to the public included the Ruskin Library at Lancaster University, St Paul’s Church in Scotforth, Carnforth Masonic Hall and Heysham Heritage Centre.

If you are the manager or owner of a building or special place which you would be happy to share with others for this year’s Heritage Open Days, Lancaster City Council wants to hear from you.

For more information or to register a venue, call 01524 582870 or you can register online at www.heritageopendays.org.uk  Deadline for registration is August 1.

The list of buildings taking part this year will be available from the beginning of August at www.visitlancaster.org.uk  and www.exploremorecambebay.org.uk
