Reimagining what cities can be
Established in 1994, Heritage Open Days (HOD) is England's contribution to the European Heritage Days and has since grown into the country's largest community heritage festival. The festival commences every September, originally launching with 701 events, now hosting three million visitors each year. In 2025 it plans to host 6000+ free events, supported through organisations and local volunteers. HOD is managed by the National Trust, with over a decade's support from organisations such as Peoples Postcode Lottery and many more, both local and national.

“Their commitment to getting each nuanced approach right is to be commended, and was very much celebrated by production and client teams alike. I hope we get to work together again on similar projects as it was a total pleasure.”Joseph Gray, Beatfreeks Consulting
