Returning organisers can log in to their organiser area and new organisers can join our community by visiting How to get involved | Heritage Open Days on the national site.

Organiser FAQs

  • You can register an event on the national Heritage Open Days website - https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/organising/how-to-get-involved

    Here you will find a step-by-step guide to registering your event. Event registration will open in March 2023.

  • The deadline to be included in the Norfolk Heritage Open Days 2023 listings brochure has now passed. You can still register your event on the national site until 10 August.

    Whilst costs are continuing to be challenging, we will still be producing the Norfolk listings brochure as we know it is widely valued by both organisers and visitors. Following feedback from both groups, we will be making some changes to the format this year. To guarantee a full listing, please ensure your event meets the HODs entry criteria of being free to access and includes at least one of the following:

    • Site not normally open to the public

    • There is usually an entry charge, which will be waived for HODs

    • Event put on specially HODs 

    Listings meeting these criteria will include title, address, date/time and a sentence or two. We will use the Quick Summary information you enter on your online registration for the brochure content. Other entries will be limited to title, address and date/time only.

  • If you are ticketing your event, on your registration please select the ‘Required’ option from the ‘Pre-booking’ dropdown menu in Section 5 (Timings and Tours).

    For simplicity, we ask that tickets for Norfolk pre-book events are released at the same time for fairness to visitors. We will publish the release date in our marketing, including the brochure.
