Heritage Open Days

A great opportunity to discover hidden Greater Yarmouth over four days of free events with special guided tours and visits to buildings not usually open to the public, Heritage Open Days spans four days from 8th – 11th September 2011. 

Amongst  the many great buildings to explore are HS Smoke House , five traditional old smoke houses in South Denes, over 150 years old and still using traditional methods for smoking herring.  Prebooking is required for guided tours on Friday at 10.00 am and 2.00 pm and Saturday 10.00 am, numbers per tour limited to 15 people   Also the wonderfully ornate Regent Theatre, now Mecca bingo, designed by Frances Burdett Ward and decorated in the Louis XVI style.  Opened in 1914,  it has been well preserved by its current owner. Pre-booking is required here too for guided tours on  Friday to Saturday at 10.00 am and Sunday 11.00 am.   But these are just two of  the  participating venues.
