There’s lots to learn about the Peak District’s cultural heritage this month at special open days across the national park.

Heritage Open Days is England's largest community led festival of history and culture, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations – and runs from 6th to 15th September.

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, though some events need to be pre-booked.

Events in the Peak District include:

Pollen in a Peak Bog: A Community Archaeology Project - Dove Valley Activity Centre, Buxton – 15th September, 12noon to 4pm. Pre-booking not required
