More than 40 Shropshire venues are taking part in England’s largest festival of history and culture when it returns next month.
The Severn Valley Railway, Bridgnorth., is one of the attractions taking part in Heritage Open days
Liam Montgomery, Heritage Open Days marketing and projects manager, said: “The festival is just around the corner and it is fantastic to see that our community is putting on a staggering 4,500+ events, with more than 500 focusing on our Astounding Inventions theme. 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.
Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have been supporting the National Trust since 2013, raising over £4,475,000 to date. Funds are awarded by the Postcode Earth Trust. This will be an opportunity to experience a ride in a brake van hauled by one of our diesel shunter locomotives. Pre-book a guided tour at 10.00am, 11.30am, 1.00pm, 2.30pm or 4.00pm to see behind the scenes at Bridgnorth Locomotive Works.
