Heritage Open Days 2008

If you have any ideas for buildings that ought to be included in Heritage Open Days in Chester in 2008, please email admin@chestercivictrust.org.uk.

In the meantime, here is what we did in 2007:

Chester and its surrounding District opened its doors to show off its hidden architectural treasures to residents and visitors free of charge on Thursday 6 to Sunday 9 September 2007. 

Organized jointly by the by the Chester Civic Trust, Chester City Council History and Heritage, and Tarvin Civic Trust, the activities formed part of Heritage Open Days 2006, a national event coordinated by the Civic Trust and part of a European wide initiative, European Heritage Days.
