All Heritage Open Days events are free. Due to limited capacity, some events must be pre-booked. Please check individual event listings for booking details. Many events are now fully booked, although there are still talks and guided walks with places available. Remember, there are over 190 amazing drop-in events which take place throughout the festival! Lots of the organisations and venues that participate in HODs host events and tours at other times of the year. Do check their websites and socials for information, and support these fantastic places. When people let us know they cannot make an event they have booked for, we add these tickets back to the website, so do check back every so often to see if tickets have become available. Thank you for all your support!
