Booking opens 10am on Wednesday 26 August

All Heritage Open Days events are free for everyone! Due to limited capacity, some events must be pre-booked. Tickets are limited to 2 per booker per event, so as many people as possible can enjoy HODs! Most tickets can be booked online from Wednesday 26 August at 10am. Please check individual event listings for booking details. As well as the pre-booked events, there are lots of drop-in events to enjoy too! The online event directory is live, so you can browse the 250+ events that have registered for this year's festival! Events can be added online up to 13 August.
