Heritage Open Days returns from 11th to 20th September and offers a fantastic opportunity to discover the rich history and heritage of South Derbyshire, through a range of free events and experiences. From historic buildings and guided tours to exhibitions and heritage walks, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
As part of the celebrations, we are delighted to be unveiling our new Sir Nigel Gresley Exhibition at the South Derbyshire Visitor Information Centre, alongside a programme of events taking place across the district.
To help you plan your visits, pick up a copy of the South Derbyshire Heritage Open Days brochure from the Visitor Information Centre or browse the digital version online. Inside you’ll find details of all the events taking place locally, making it easy to discover the history, stories and hidden gems right on your doorstep.
