English Heritage is preparing to welcome visitors back to its historic properties and sites from 29 March 2021.
Over 50 of the charity’s sites, which have been closed to the public since December 2020 as a result of the pandemic, will be opening at the end of March, with more to follow provided the country successfully passes each milestone on the Government’s roadmap.
All sites scheduled to open on 29 March enjoy large outdoor spaces, such as historic gardens, extensive grounds and even a battlefield, with plenty of room for social distancing.
Subject to government guidance, Stonehenge and English Heritage’s collection of holiday cottages will open on 12 April while indoor areas and even more sites will open on 17 May 2021.
From 21 June, English Heritage will launch its full summer events programme.
Kate Mavor, English Heritage’s Chief Executive, said: “We can’t wait to open up our sites again and to welcome people back. It’s been a long, long winter and our sites – with their wide open spaces, beautiful buildings, fun events and fascinating stories – will be the tonic we all need.”
