Welcome to England’s largest festival of history and culture!
Every September thousands of volunteers across England organise events to celebrate our fantastic history and culture. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – all of which are FREE to explore.
On Wednesday 13 September, meet our volunteer industrial heritage gardeners in the museum gardens and take your spring daffodil bulb home with you. You can also have a look around the beautiful Mill Manager’s home. Collect your limited edition, Heritage Day bookmark in the print gallery and visit the weavers/spinners upstairs in the mill.
