Sheffield Heritage Open Days Information and updates on Sheffield Heritage Open Days Festival. Highlights, information, news and updates are published regularly on this page.

Every September we invite you to experience local history, architecture and culture through Heritage Open Days, England's largest festival of history and culture. All over the country buildings and places rarely open to the public will be open FREE OF CHARGE, often entirely through the work of volunteers. You can enjoy walks, talks, exhibitions, and more as local heritage experts and enthusiasts showcase their passion for heritage across the city.
