Heritage Open Days

Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 September 2010

Tonbridge CastleHeritage Open Days celebrates England's fantastic architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission. It is a once-a-year chance to discover hidden architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities which bring to life local history and culture.

Organised by volunteers - usually property owners or managers - for local people, Heritage Open Days is England's biggest and most popular voluntary cultural event, attracting some 800,000 people annually. English Heritage gives central co-ordination and additional voice to the event. Locally this event has been co-ordinated by Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council in partnership with Tonbridge Civic Society and The Malling Society.
