Every September, much of England’s fantastic architecture and culture is celebrated during Heritage Open Days, when many historical buildings open their doors to the public, giving you the chance to visit for FREE. Discover architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities at buildings of every age, style and function in Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. 

This year Heritage Open Days celebrates its 30th anniversary with the festival running between Friday 6th - Sunday 15th September with the theme ‘ Routes - Networks - Connections! - celebrating what connects us all and how people and ideas have moved around and come together - from trade routes to name origins, the history of our buildings to the traditions of our towns, and so much more!
