A host of venues are opening their doors to the public for free as part of Loughborough Heritage Open Weekend.
Visitors will be able to explore 12 sites in Loughborough as part of the event, on Saturday, 14 September, and Sunday, 15 September, including some that might not normally be open to members of the public.
Building on the success of the National Trust’s annual Heritage Open Days, which take place locally every September, the Loughborough Heritage Forum – made up of local voluntary and community groups - has developed this further to create Loughborough Heritage Open Weekend.
This is a perfect opportunity for people to experience and gain insight into Loughborough’s history and heritage. Local enthusiasts and volunteers will be on hand to guide and inform at each of the locations.
The 12 sites participating in the event are:
All Saints with Holy Trinity Parish Church
Fearon Hall
Carillon Museum, Military Memorabilia Roadshow
Charnwood Museum
Garendon Park
The Generator Loughborough
Loughborough Central Station (Great Central Railway)
Loughborough Grammar School
Loughborough Library Local Studies Volunteer Group (guided walks)
Old Rectory Museum
Taylor’s Bellfoundry
Unity House
