Five heritage properties freely open to the public on the same afternoon are Alcester’s contribution to Heritage Open Days 2025, England’s largest national festival of heritage and culture providing a free opportunity to explore many of the country’s heritage properties, including those that normally either charge admission or are not open to the public – a great family outing! Visit www.heritageopendays.org.uk for more details and search for HODs open properties wherever you happen to be.
