What's on?

When I grow up I want to be a… costume designer / gardener / scientist / wheelwright?! Whatever role takes your fancy, find out what it’s really like to be one this September. Meet the experts, watch their work, ask them questions, and maybe even have a go yourself!

Take a dive into the history of sport and perhaps even have a go at some new activities. It’s set to be a bumper summer of international competition and you may think the games will all be over when autumn comes. But from a Crown Green Cup to ‘The Useless Bike’ there will be so much to explore, and play for, this September!

We all love a secret – something to uncover, discover, or solve. From exploring underground places to a sneak peek behind the scenes, it's hard to not relish discovering something new… and luckily, during Heritage Open Days, you can do just that! We’ve hand-picked some secret spaces, places and behind the scenes experiences you can enjoy this September, from cathedrals and crypts to rarely open places – what will you discover?
