Heritage Open Day
This event (happening yearly around the country) is a fantastic opportunity to explore King’s Lynn’s historic buildings.

The next King’s Lynn Heritage Open Day is set to take place on Sunday 14th September 2025.
The King’s Lynn Civic Society, working with the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, the King’s Lynn Town Guides, local businesses, residents and Friends’ groups arrange a jam-packed programme of open buildings, cemeteries, towers and tunnels with lots of special events, talks and exhibitions.
A guaranteed day of fun for all the family, and the chance to have a sneak peek at buildings not normally open to the public, including a very popular World War II Air Raid Shelter underneath Tuesday Market Place. There is also a veteran bus arranged each year, free for everyone to use on the day. So, if you feel that some places are a bit far to get to on foot, simply hop on the bus.
The King’s Lynn Heritage Open Day Programme is available from late August each year, and will give you details of all the venues involved on the day and an overview of the day’s great activities.
The full-colour printed programme for the day of events is made available for collection from the King’s Lynn TIC (alongside other key venues around the town) up to two weeks before the event.
News and updates for each year’s forthcoming HOD programme will be available on the Heritage Open Day Website.
