Join in England’s annual celebration of local history and architecture. This is your chance to have a wonderful FREE day out exploring King’s Lynn’s historic buildings.

The King’s Lynn Civic Society working with the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, the Red Badge Town Guides, businesses, residents and Friends Groups have arranged a great programme so you can visit houses, offices, gardens, churches, chapels, towers and tunnels not normally open to the public.

Look out for special events, colourful re-enactors, children’s activities, music, dancing, miniature trains, boats, classic cars and exhibitions. Heritage Open Day is England’s most popular grassroots cultural event.

Get involved! If you would like to volunteer to help run Heritage Open Day, please find out more here and email us.

If you would like to open YOUR building on Heritage Open Day, please email us. See the Contact page.
