Milton Keynes welcomes
Heritage Open Days again this September!
Taking place over ten days from Friday 10 to Sunday 19 September, there
is something for everyone this year as MK celebrates its fascinating heritage
with a packed programme of over 150 guided walks, historic talks, cycle rides,
workshops, craft events, open days, exhibitions and performances – all
completely free to attend.
Key attractions opening their doors for free include Milton Keynes
Museum, MK Gallery, Great Linford Manor Park, Westbury Arts Centre, Milton
Keynes City Discovery Centre, The Stables Theatre and the Cowper & Newton
Museum in Olney.
Cllr Robin Bradburn,
MKC Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Culture said: “Despite the challenges
presented by the pandemic, it’s amazing that once again Heritage Open Days
organisations have come together to provide a fantastic number and quality of
events during September, on a variety of heritage and cultural themes.
This flagship heritage event really puts Milton Keynes on the map nationally
and will provide exciting and safe activities that everyone can get involved
with.
This year’s theme is Edible England and you will find plenty of
opportunities get out and about and enjoy some fresh air whilst searching for
edible plants on forgaing walks across Milton Keynes. Come to the Old School
House in Wolverton to enjoy Foodie Forest School and Hedgehog High Tea,
sample the famous Buckinghamshire
Clanger at the Old Bath House, head over to MK Museum for the annual Beer
Festival or tuck in to a cream tea as you listen to the sounds of Milton Keynes
Brass.
Once again there are online activities as well as plenty of
self-guided walks and trails to keep you busy.
Please keep
checking the Living Archive website and our social media to keep in touch with
any updates to the events, as Heritage Open Days will be subject to any
government guidelines that are in place at the time.
