Heritage Open Days

The National Trust has announced that its ‘Heritage Open-Days’ festival WILL be going ahead in September 2020.

Heritage Open Days started in 1994. Since then it has grown into a vibrant celebration of local histories and cultures. More than 5000 events take place each year across England as part of the festival.

As part of this festival 2 guided tours of the Hull General Cemetery are being organised. These walks will be led by ‘Friends of Hull General Cemetery’ stalwarts Pete Lowden and Bill Longbone. Dates will be confirmed nearer the date.

Across Hull and the East Riding, Hull General Cemetery was the most visited attraction during 2019s Heritage Open-Day Festival.

In-line with Government guidelines regarding Covid-19 there may be restrictions on the amount of people allowed to take-part in the walks.

Further information on the guided tour dates and all related Covid-19 guidelines will be published on this website and on the FoHGC Facebook page as and when it becomes available.
