Open Churches Weekends
The Open Churches Weekends ran as an annual event in the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham from 2010 to 2013, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Now that the funding has come to an end we encourage churches to put on their own open days and to join the Annual Ride and Stride event in aid of the Notts Historic Churches Trust.
Ride and Stride takes place on the second weekend in September, coninciding with the national Heritage Open Days.
