Heritage Open Days Theme Guide
2026 Theme: Everyday Histories
Exploring daily working life through the ages
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker - what did your ancestors do, and what was their daily life like? In 2026 we’ll be exploring stories of working lives, from learning a craft to establishing routines and cherished rituals. What will you discover in our factories, kitchens, dockyards, gardens and beyond?!
