The history of North Tyneside’s most picturesque and historically fascinating locations will be on display as sites around the country prepare for the latest round of Heritage Open Days.
Heritage Open Days is England's biggest heritage festival celebrating the country’s fantastic history, architecture and culture; offering people the chance to see a variety of scenic sites.
And between September 8 and September 11, North Tyneside’s diverse range of venues will be opening their doors free of charge for an exciting array of events, from live bandstand music at Northumberland Park to a film show and exhibition at the Rising Sun Country Park.
There are special guided walks exploring the history of Cullercoats art and Tynemouth and a chance to try the new North Shields Town Trail.
Cllr Eddie Darke, cabinet member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism, said: “Heritage Open Days are a great opportunity to go and find out more about the history of our borough and enjoy some great experiences with the whole family.
“There is such a variety that there truly is something for everyone. I’d urge anyone interested to have a look at the programme and discover what’s available.”
