Description

Inviting everyone to discover the city’s rich heritage through ten days of free events.

Part of England’s largest festival of history and culture, Heritage Open Days celebrates the people, places and stories that have shaped our communities. This year’s Winchester programme brings together museums, churches, historic homes, community groups, charities and volunteers to showcase the city’s unique heritage. All events are free, although some require advance booking.
