Heritage Open Days in Tunbridge Wells Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th September 2010

Heritage Open Days 2010 will soon be with us and behind the scenes teams of volunteers are beavering away busy getting things ready and finalising the all important details of properties and events. We will have more information available for you in late July so please drop by again then.

In the meantime we thought you might like to see some of the things our visitors had to say about 2009:
