Every September thousands of volunteers across England organise Heritage Open Day events to celebrate history and culture. It is a fantastic chance to explore hidden places and learn something new- and all events are free.
The Scarborough, Filey and Hunmanby areas have a number of interesting historical landmarks to explore.
Check out the Heritage Open Days events happening in Bridlington here.
