National Heritage Open Days

Heritage Open Days is England’s largest community led festival of history and culture, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations.

Every year in September it brings people together to celebrate their heritage, community and history.

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.

There are displays about local sporting achievements, industry and other times of war, and the ferries that made Harwich famous.

There are books of picture postcards to flick through, a mini cinema to watch films on, and much more. and there’s a tea-room, and shop.
