All Heritage Open Days events are free for you to experience and enjoy. Due to limited capacity, some events must be pre-booked and tickets are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Tickets are limited to 2 per booker per event.
Most tickets can be booked online via norfolkhods.ticketsolve.com
In some cases, you will be required to book directly with the venue online, by phone or by email. Please check individual event listings for details. Meeting points and venue addresses will be confirmed with your booking.
As well as the pre-booked events, there are lots of events which you can drop in to enjoy.
Bookings for the majority of pre-book events opens Monday 19 August at 10am.
Some of the events are drop-in, and some events must be pre-booked.

Pre-book ticket bookings open Monday 19 August at 10am.
Most tickets can be booked online via norfolkhods.ticketsolve.com but please check individual event listings. Some events must be booked directly through the organisers/venue online, by phone, or by email.
If booking online on norfolkhods.ticketsolve.com we recommend checking out as a guest, instead of logging in or creating an account. You will have 15 minutes to complete your order.
Meeting points and addresses will be confirmed by email after booking.
Our Box Office is run by The Forum, who coordinate Norfolk HODs and also present Norwich Science Festival, Norwich Games Festival and Norfolk Makers Festival.
If you have created an account to book a ticket for any of these festivals, you will not be able to use the same email address to create a new account. You will be able to use your current account to book tickets for Norfolk HODs if you can remember your login details.
To streamline the process, you are able to ‘Continue as a Guest’ at Checkout instead of logging in or creating an account.
Tickets are not available in person, by telephone, post or email with The Forum office.
No, all of the tickets are free. However, if you would like to make a donation to help cover the cost of coordinating Norfolk HODs, and the cost of our Box Office system, you can do so here: https://norfolkhods.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/products/donation
Unfortunately we cannot operate a waiting list. We recommend checking the website for other drop-in events.
To cope with the extraordinary demand, and allow as many people as possible to enjoy Norfolk HODs as possible, we limit tickets to two per person.
As the Norfolk HODs events are free, there is very high demand for tickets. Most of the Norfolk HODs events are managed by volunteers, which is why there are a limited number of events and places. Remember there are plenty of drop in events too!
We want to ensure our events are accessible to as many visitors as possible. If you’re allocated tickets you cannot use, please let us know by emailing [email protected] or contact the organiser if you booked directly with them.
Once tickets are released on Monday 19 August at 10am (for the majority of Norfolk HODs events) visit: norfolkhods.ticketsolve.com
You will see a list of events that are ticketed. Please note if a venue or organisation are managing their own ticketing, they will not be shown on this page. Their booking information will be shown on their event listing at: heritageopendays.org.uk
Select the event you wish to attend.
If the event has multiple dates/times, you will need to select a date on the calendar, and then a time.
Choose the number of tickets (max 2). Please note tickets will only be held in your basket for 15 minutes.
You can choose whether to "return to shows and continue browsing" to go back to the list of ticketed events, or Checkout to view your basket.

How would you like to proceed: If you have used our box office system before and created an account in the past, you can sign in. If you would like to Create an Account you can do that too. However, for ease, we recommend selecting the pink button at the bottom of the page to Continue as Guest, to ensure you can secure your tickets.
You can then fill in your personal information and accept the T&Cs, and press Continue.
You will then be taken to a confirmation page and will see a summary of your booking. You can download your booking/tickets at this point, but they will also be emailed to you. Please read the confirmation email carefully as it will have important information about the event including access and meeting points.
If you’d like to continue browsing and booking tickets, please select “Shows” at the top of the page. The "Home" button will take you to the main Norfolk Heritage Open Days website.
If you need to find your booking information later, search “norfolkhods” in your emails.
Occasionally, events may be cancelled at short notice due to circumstances beyond the organisers’ control. In the event of cancellation of pre-book events, every endeavour will be made to contact ticket holders. We regret that we may not be able to offer an alternative for cancelled events.
