English Heritage Open Days are making their return this month, with plenty to do across Hampshire. 

English Heritage properties across the county have organised diverse events between September 6 and September 15 to provide in-depth historical experiences to visitors.

The main attractions feature Fort Brockhurst, Silchester Roman City Walls & Amphitheatre, Bishop’s Waltham Palace, Wolvesey Castle, and The Grange.

Fort Brockhurst, established in the 1850s and 1860s to defend Portsmouth from potential French invasions, will open its gates on September 7 and 8 from 10am to 4pm.

It promises an action-filled weekend featuring military re-enactments, live history displays, and interactive characters for public enjoyment.

This historic fort continues to be an important military and local landmark.

On September 15, Silchester Roman City will offer free guided tours at 10am and 2pm.

The ancient city, also known as 'Calleva', is unique in that, unlike most Roman towns, it remains unbuilt upon since its abandonment in 6th or 7th century.

Its pristine defensive walls and remains of an amphitheatre represent some of England’s best-preserved Roman treasures.

Bishop’s Waltham Palace, an opulent 12th-century residence belonging to the affluent Bishops of Winchester, will host guided tours on September 8, 9, and 10.

Each day will bring fresh delights, with explorations of recently conserved ruins and exclusive looks at sections normally closed to the public, like the North Turret.

September 11 at 11am, Wolvesey Castle or 'the Old Bishop's Palace' will offer a special guided tour.

The tour strives to provide a comprehensive history of the castle, from its Anglo-Saxon origins to Queen Mary I's wedding celebrated in 1554.

Lastly, The Grange in Northington will conduct pre-booked guided tours at 11.30am, 1.15pm and 3pm on September 12.

The Greek Revival architecture masterpiece was significantly redesigned by architect William Wilkins in the early 19th century.
