As part of National Heritage Open Days we welcome you to experience Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet at the time of the Sheffield Blitz! Join us on Sun 12 Sept 11am - 4.45pm and enjoy free admission as part of this exciting national campaign.

Heritage Open Days celebrates England's fantastic architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission.

Every year on four days in September, buildings of every age, style and function throw open their doors, ranging from castles to factories, town halls to tithe barns, parish churches to Buddhist temples. It is a once-a-year chance to discover hidden architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities which bring to life local history and culture.

Free of charge and literally on people's doorstep, Heritage Open Days is an event for everyone, whatever their background, age and ability!

Families can enjoy living history tours and kids will learn broom handle drills and what to do when an incendiary bomb comes through the roof! Plus find out more about that historic night in December 1940 when Sheffield was blitzed!
