Heritage Open Days is England's largest festival of history and culture, bringing together over 2,000 organisations, 5,000 events and 40,000 volunteers. Every year in September, places across the country throw open their doors to celebrate their heritage, community and history. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE.

​

Sheffield Civic Trust is proud to be the local co-ordinator of this important annual event.  This website will keep you updated on the events and venues participating in the annual Sheffield  Heritage Open Days festival. You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The 2026 festival will take place between 11 - 20 September 2026 and as always, access to all HODs events will be FREE!
