Heritage Open Days - here's what's in store in the Peterborough area

Heritage Open Days – England’s largest community led festival of history and culture – is back for another year.

Every September thousands of volunteers across England organise events to celebrate our fantastic history and culture.

Stories are told, traditions explored, and histories brought to life. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all free.

In the Peterborough area there are some beautiful old churches to explore in Northborough, Orton Longueville, and Fletton, plus Thorney Abbey; volunteer at Sacrewell Farm’s restoration project; get up close to the ruins of Ramsey Abbey gatehouse and Crowland Abbey for instance.

Tour historic Peckover House at Wisbech or the old school at Ayscoughfee Hall in Spalding. Or visit the birthplace of modern wildlife conservation at Woodwalton Fen.
