Heritage Open Days
Enjoy free days out across the Folkestone and Hythe District for the next ten days!
Heritage Open Days is the country's largest festival of history and culture. This year, it celebrates England's Everyday Histories.
From 11-20 September, enjoy free access to buildings and areas usually closed to the public (including church towers across the Romney Marsh), exclusive events, open days, festivals, cemetery tours, military and railway history, a film screening, a classic car display at a windmill and an online family history talk!
