Heritage Open Days is fast approaching and an exciting programme of events and experiences is already taking shape and Quebec House is thrilled to be involved. Each year is bring over a million people together to celebrate heritage, community and history.
We are excited to be embracing this year's theme, Architecture. Liam Montgomery, Heritage Open Days Marketing & Projects Manager, said, ‘For many, architecture is about more than just buildings; it's really all about people, and the ways we interact with the world around us. This year's festival is a great opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of local stories across England. It's an open invitation to explore, learn, and be inspired by people and place’
