Wed 20th August 2025 at 7.30 pm / Town Hall Lecture Room (entrance in Fisher Street) plus ZOOM ONLINE.

A preview of the programme by Marcus Taylor for the 2025 Heritage Open Days weekend in Lewes (12th -14th Sept 2025).  Find out which properties are opening their doors in 2025 and why you might choose to visit them.

This year’s focus for the Heritage Open Days (12th – 14th Sept 2025) is ‘Architecture’ and offers free access to eighteen historic Lewes buildings plus five guided walks.  Advance booking, where required, opens on Thursday 21st August 2025 at 9am.

Heritage Open Days celebrate England’s architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed to the public, or charge for admission.

The Friends of Lewes has played a key part in ensuring the success of the Heritage Open Days event, taking on the lead role from 2011 onward.

In recent years, many historic Lewes buildings and outdoor sites have been featured, several providing guided tours. Some of these venues are highlighted on our Lewes Buildings of Note page. The Friends of Lewes leaflets describing the 2025 venues, will be available from the Lewes Tourist Information Centre in the Precinct, the Town Hall, Lewes Library, and other outlets. Our open venues are also on the National Heritage Open Days website
