Each September thousands of volunteers across the country invite people to experience local history, architecture and culture and it's all for free!
Town Councillor Jon Kelly, Tours Organiser, said "Our Wilmslow Tours will run between 10-17 September 2023. This year amongst other things we will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the finding of "Lindow Pete". We cover a wide range of Wilmslow's history much of which is hidden from view and which bring into the sunlight.
"Our tour is by foot around the centre of Wilmslow and takes about two hours. Please walk in if you can but if you drive in please ensure you have enough time on your parking ticket to get there and get back to your car. We depart from Bank Square at 11 o'clock sharp, please remember there is no parking in Bank Square."
David Briggs, Chair of Wilmslow Historical Society and fellow tour guide says. "Heritage Open Days form a part of England's largest grass roots heritage festival involving over 40,000 volunteers and 5,000 events. There is a national website and you can find events right across the country from the comfort of your own home.
"Here in Wilmslow we are very pleased to take part again, we have run these popular tours for a number of years to complement our year round programme of talks and visits.
"For safety we keep numbers to a friendly group of eight guests so it is essential people book a place on a tour in advance by email to [email protected] or call 01625 536909"
