FREE peek in 4,500 hidden property gemsHeritage Open Day sites open from Thu 12 - Sun 15 Sep
England
Free day in 4,500 hidden historic sites
This is a one-off opportunity to grab. From Thu 12 - Sun 15 Sep ONLY, you can get free access to many usually-closed sites in England and other tourist attractions that usually charge. Here are some top picks:
Five places for free that usually charge
•Petworth House, West Sussex (usually £12 entry)
•Beatrix Potter's cottage in the Lake District (usually £8.50 entry)
•Calke Abbey, Derbyshire (usually £6.77 entry)
•Bodiam Castle, East Sussex (usually £6.70 entry)
•Manchester Jewish Museum (usually £3.95)
Five places normally closed that are open
•Nenthead Mines, Cumbria – Mine how you go (sorry) at England’s highest and largest lead mining complex, parts of which are 350 years old.
•Ossett Old Police Cells – This old police station is now a youth club, but you can still see old pictures and artefacts from days past.
•Bristol South Slipper Baths - You can't take a dip, but you can take a look at this 1930s public bathing facility that closed in the 1960s.
•Joyce’s Clocks building, Shropshire - An opportunity to poke around the 1904 premises and to see a display of photographs relating to Joyce's clocks and examples of clock mechanisms.
•Eagle House school tour, Berkshire - A free tour covering the history of the main house, the Boston air crash in 1944 and even a cuppa and a biscuit.
