It's fun, IT’s fabulous and it is all FREE!

Hampshire Heritage Open Days is coordinated and promoted by volunteers from Hampshire History Trust. Most of the events are organised for FREE by individuals, groups and organisations. For the past few years Winchester College have been our lead sponsor, supporting us to enable access to historical sites across the city. They also host their own exciting selection of talks, concerts and tours . In 2023 they offered 10 events, which included campus tours with a WinColl students’ insights, a talk on Faberge eggs and events for the whole family.
