Harleston Heritage Open Days

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.

In 2024 Heritage Open Days will be celebrating how people and ideas have moved around and come together throughout history. The transport routes, communication networks, trade unions and social clubs. The travellers who have spread ideas and the hosts who welcome them.

Harleston will join the celebrations with a focus on our connection to the Mayflower Pilgrims of 400 years ago who sailed to the New World with their religious beliefs and ideas for a new life. But there will be other themed events and activities during the Open Days from 6 – 15 September. This is a Team Harleston collective with contributions from many of our local groups and organisations.
