Tunbridge Wells Heritage Open Days 2022 was from Friday 9th September to Sunday 18th September 2022 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.
