Tunbridge Wells Heritage Open Days 2026 is from Friday 11th September to Sunday 20st September 2026 inclusive.

Heritage Open Days celebrate England's architectural, social and cultural heritage by offering visitors of all ages free access to a range of events that include interesting properties, guided walks, tours and talks. There are often art, craft and music events as well as displays of traditional skills. The Royal Tunbridge Wells Civic Society, in conjunction with the National Trust, helps to co-ordinate the events across the Borough of Tunbridge Wells.



Many activities will adopt this year's theme, Everyday Histories, exploring daily working life through the ages. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker - what did your ancestors do, and what was their daily life like? In 2026 we'll be exploring stories of working lives, from learning a craft to establishing routines and cherished rituals. What will you discover in our factories, kitchens, dockyards, gardens and beyond?!
