Every year in September, places across the country throw
open their doors to celebrate their heritage, community and history.
It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and
it’s all FREE.
If you're looking for a fun day out that all the family can enjoy then this is a great way to do just that and without spending a fortune too. This year things are a little different, as all events are socially distanced (or digital), but that won't stop the (free) fun.
