Heritage Open Day 2026

We would love to welcome you to explore our ancient church on the 12th September 2026 as part of Heritage Open Days.

Heritage Open Days is England’s largest community led festival of history and culture, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations. Every year in September it brings people together to celebrate their heritage, community and history. Stories are told, traditions explored, and histories brought to life. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE.

There will be tours of the church, a Mouse Treasure Hunt, children activities, old Birstall maps and photographs to see, and refreshments. Did we mention it’s all free? The event runs from 10:30 until 3:30.

We’d love to see you there to celebrate our shared heritage.
