This yearly event is a fantastic opportunity to explore King’s Lynn’s historic buildings. The town celebrates this special day once again on Sunday 10th September 2017, with well over 60 places of interest to see during the day. View or download a copy of the new 2017 Programme now! There is a Medieval Market happening across the whole weekend on the Saturday Market Place, with a ‘Classic Cars’ event in the town on Sunday too, making King’s Lynn’s Heritage Open Day a bumper event of history and heritage.
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 another jam-packed programme of open buildings, cemeteries and 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 (see bus stops and timetable information in the 2017 programme).
