Heritage Open Days 2011 - Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th September

Heritage Open Day Weekend 2011 is drawing near and I would encourage you to take up the opportunity to open up your churches. Heritage Open Days is a chance to open up the church to a wider audience and help to celebrate with others what is important about your place of worship. All you need to do is open the church during the weekend and have someone available to answer questions about the heritage of the church.
If you would like to take part you can register online following the instructions below:
Alternatively, I can register your event for you if you send me the following information:
1. Church Name
2. A Brief Description
3. When the church will be open during the Heritage Open Day Weekend
4. Whether Booking is Essential, if so we need instructions for whom to contact.
5. Whether you are putting on any special events, such as a choral service or treasure hunt for the kids
6. Whether you will be putting refreshments on
7. Contact details for enquiries about the event
The deadline for online registration is the end of July and if you want me to register your event you will need to get the information to me by Friday 15th July. Could you let me know if you register online so that I have a better picture of the response across the diocese?
