Heritage Open Days in the Liverpool City Region

Heritage Open Days celebrate England's outstanding architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed
to the public, or normally charge for admission.

Every year during September buildings of every age, style and function throw open their doors to visitors. Heritage Open Days offer a once-a-year chance to discover hidden architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities which bring local history and culture alive for everyone. Liverpool is extending Heritage Open Days to eleven days of heritage activities. Between the 10-20 September, buildings of interest will be open throughout Liverpool. There will be a whole programme of tours andfamily friendly events, so that everyone can enjoy their local heritage.

Heritage Open Days are co-ordinated nationally by English Heritage. Liverpool's programme is organised by Liverpool City Council. However, Heritage Open Days could never happen without the enthusiasm and expertise of local people. Nationally, thousands of volunteers will open theirproperties, organise activities and share their knowledge. To everyone in Liverpool who has contributed to our 2009 Heritage Open Days programme, we say a big 'thank you'.

Inevitably, the listings in this brochure will miss some openings as new properties want to get involved later on.
