Heritage Open Days – 6-15 September 2024
The European-wide festival of history and culture called Heritage Open Days (HODs) is co-ordinated nationally by the National Trust and held over ten days in September each year.
Visiting, exploring and learning
The events in Cheltenham range from open buildings – which you can explore either on your own or on an organised tour – to guided walks, talks, exhibitions or even a visit to a hidden gem that usually isn’t open to the public. The events are all free, but tickets must be pre-booked for some events where numbers are limited.
Organisation
The events are organised by Cheltenham Civic Society and are all run by volunteers, who meet regularly during the year to plan the programme and produce a brochure, which features all the activities and open buildings. Planning for next year’s HODs programme will begin at the team’s first meeting in January.
