Heritage Open Days - Free entry 8-11 September 2011 Heritage Open Days celebrates England's fantastic architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission. Every year on four days in September, buildings of every age, style and function throw open their doors, ranging from castles to factories, town halls to tithe barns, parish churches to Buddhist temples. It is a once-a-year chance to discover hidden architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities which bring to life local history and culture.
Free of charge and literally on people's doorstep, Heritage Open Days is an event for everyone, whatever their background, age and ability.
As part of Heritage Open Days this year, the National Trust will be opening over 300 of its properties for free on Saturday 13 September. This includes Avebury and the Alexander Keiller Museum. Please note that not all places are participating. Please check before visiting to avoid disappointment.
