We invite you to join us for the 2026 National Heritage Week Training events taking place online throughout May. This is your opportunity to learn from experts in heritage, get inspired with ideas and network with fellow organisers. With a central location for the in-person event and an online event which everyone can access, these free to attend events will inspire you for great ideas for an event for National Heritage Week 2026 which takes place from 15th-23rd August.
