Many arts buildings will open for free next month as part of England’s largest festival of history and culture.

Organised by the National Trust, Heritage Open Days gives families free access to cultural buildings including museums and galleries.

More than 670 free events are planned across the event’s 10-day period, from 9 to 18 September.

According to the trust, this year's theme - Astounding Inventions - puts focus on overlooked inventors and those whose creations we couldn’t live without.

"Whether it's a doorstep discovery, a local curiosity, a world-famous attraction or a one-of-a-kind experience - there really is something for everyone this year," said Heritage Open Days Marketing and Projects Manager Liam Montgomery.

A full list of free events is available on the Heritage Open Days website.
