About Heritage Open Days
Heritage Open Days is England's largest community led festival of history and culture, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations. Every year in September it brings people together to celebrate their heritage, community and history. Stories are told, traditions explored, and histories brought to life. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE.
Responding to this year's Heritage Open Days theme of 'Unwrapping Creativity', the Bluecoat is delighted to participate as the UK's first arts centre, formally constituted in 1927, where creativity is still at the heart of everything we do.
