Heritage Open Days is a national celebration of
England’s architecture and culture. It
offers a great opportunity for both visitors and Cheltenham residents to
explore historic buildings that are either not normally open to the public
or, over this weekend, have waived
their entrance charges. This year
more than 20 buildings will be open together with 10 Eco-homes. A full list
of Buildings open in Cheltenham between
8th and 11th September 2011 is available here. A full list
of Eco-homes open on Sunday 11th September 2011 is available here. For more

garden, see a special exhibition of photographs from Cheltenham Art Gallery
and Museum. Learn also about the activities of Cheltenham Civic Society –
