Heritage Open Days
When everyone gets to peek behind doors that are usually locked, or sneak in free to places that usually charge. 15,000 people did that in 2017; getting a sneak peek at secret gardens, private concerts, and even the courts... everyone gets to see into the lives of buildings and people in the city.

Why go somewhere bland? History, different and somewhere so old it’s long-standing, just what makes it an experience not an event!Reposted from @cruckbarnmk
We're not just a wedding venue!
We also host corporate events, so if you're looking for meeting space or a setting for a team day, we have plenty of outdoor space and our historic Cruck Barn has capacity for up to 12 delegates (ensuring we are Covid secure).
For a peaceful and green setting, just 2.5 miles from CMK, email functions@mkcdc.org.uk

And peace, perfection and poignant history 🙂

old buildings, a herb garden nodding over the wall, bright sky, cheerful company, carefully spaced audience: a delightful anticipationGood to see!We've made it #BeerOClock again, hurrah! The weather has been so nice, we're featuring an #OldBucksBoozer with a #BeerGarden this week. This splendid patio is at the rear of the Red Lion, #Marlow, 1970s is a safe guess for the date. Anyone want to suggest other pub gardens?
Looking green and pleasant 👍What stories will you discover? 💭☀️🍂🕵️♂️

Who fancies this?How about getting outside and enjoying the nice weather with a pint?
As part of the Heritage ReOpen Days our Beer Festival continues today, and across the weekend. Choose from six real ales and three ciders...and relax.
> Please note the festival will be hosted outdoors only.
The museum will only be accessible to those who have booked tickets in advance. We are open 11am-4.30pm today and all weekend. Cheers! #MKHODs
Look pretty spooky too!Time for another Inspirational Facemask from History! All the way from #Slough, here is the Bestobell Salamander Suit. It has it all: breathing nozzle, built-in sunglasses, and a look that says "STAY AWAY". Perfect for mingling at parties.
And we all love a good story!Unmissable story-telling - tonight sees the world premiere of 'Bletchley Girls: Fight for Equality'. This is a new three part radio drama by Lou Beckett inspired by the real life stories of Codebreakers Mavis Lever (later Batey) and Margaret Rock (who both worked here in Cottage 3.)
Three half hour episodes will go live at 7pm on 17, 18 and 19 Sept as part of Gloucester History Festival.
