We all learn so much during our Shoreham Port Tour
This years Heritage Open Days in and around Brighton and Hove has been a tremendous success!
This annual celebration of England’s glorious and often overlooked and forgotten architectural and cultural buildings has been extremely interesting and the Brighton & Hove News reporters have really enjoyed themselves and would really like to thank all of the volunteers that have made our 4 days a truly memorable experience – we have learnt so much about some of our city’s exceptional buildings.
If you failed to attend any of this year’s events, then we would strongly recommend that you allow time to do so for 2018 – visit: https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/
