Heritage open days across Surrey give locals the chance to explore some of the County's best architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee.

The open days are usually organised by volunteers, property owners and managers, for local people, and last year attracted around 1 million visitors across the UK.

Heritage Open Days provides visitors with a unique opportunity to explore and enjoy these sometimes hidden, often curious and always interesting places in English cities, towns and villages - and completely free of charge.

Heritage Open Days was established in 1994 as England’s contribution to European Heritage Days, in which 49 countries now participate. In the UK, four other schemes open up places in September: Open House London, Doors Open Days in Scotland, Open Doors Days in Wales and European Heritage Days in Northern Ireland.
