Buildings across Mansfield to mark heritage open days

Heritage Open Days is England’s largest annual festival of history and culture.

Every September, doors are flung open at some of the country’s best-known attractions, as well as private and community spaces.

This year, it celebrates its 25th anniversary, with thousands of free events taking place across 10 days. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore places not normally open to the public, and learn more about the heritage on their doorstep.

Annabelle Thorpe, HOD national manager, said: “Our 25th anniversary and our first-ever 10-day festival means Heritage Open Days 2019 is going to be an unforgettable year.”
