Doncaster Heritage Open Days 2024

Friday 6th September to Sunday 15th September

This year the City of Doncaster is participating in Heritage Open Days more than they have in  previous years.   The Doncaster Civic Trust has been the main driver to organise this event and together with our local heritage volunteer groups and the City of Doncaster we have over 30 events around the City which are completely free and will hopefully be of interest to many of you.

These range from a selection of Talks, Walks and Workshops to many Heritage buildings opening their doors to the public.  This includes the Mansion House, Cusworth Hall, Masonic Hall and the Open Theatre – all very different but so interesting to have a look “behind the scenes”.

Some of the events are restricted in numbers so its important to book online as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Doncaster Heritage Open Days 2024

Doncaster’s New Interactive Town Trail

Welcome to Doncaster’s New Interactive Town Trail

We are delighted to announce the launch of a major new initiative by the Trust. For the past couple of years, film maker and Trustee Mark Waterhouse has been creating an exciting and more detailed digital version of our popular Doncaster Town Trail. This allows smartphone and tablet users to enjoy self-guided tours of the town centre to find out more about our wonderful architectural heritage.

You can find out much more about this initiative here.

Access to the Trail is to be found by visiting our sister website www.doncastertowntrail.co.uk

We hope you enjoy this new experience!
