Heritage Open Days is a FREE national event which takes place every September.
This year the open days take place from the 11th to 14th September, providing a rare opportunity to visit local places of historical and cultural interest not normally open to the public. There is a wealth of history and learning within the Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth areas and this event is an opportunity to see what the local area has to offer for all ages.
There are 38 venues including churches, a temple, historic buildings and cultural sites. At St Peters RC Church and St Chads Church Bishops Tachbrook spectacular flower festivals are planned as part of the weekend.
There are also selected guided walks on offer in Kenilworth and Leamington as well as a talk on Victorian Kenilworth and behind the scenes tours of Warwick’s extensive museum collections as well as a guided tour of Leamington Real Tennis Club.
Exhibition
To see what is on offer visit the Heritage Open Days Exhibition on Saturday 6th September 10am to 16.00 in the Royal Priors Shopping Centre, Leamington Spa.
A free prize draw will be taking place at the exhibition so for anyone that would like the chance to win a family ticket to Warwick Castle why not visit the exhibition and take part.
Also on hand will be Warwick District Council Conservation Staff and representatives of our local amenity groups to talk about the part they play in protecting our heritage.
