Alton Heritage Day

Saturday 13th September is the date of Alton’s first Heritage Day. This will be a part of the national ‘Heritage Open Days’ that are held in September each year and give people a chance to ‘try out new experiences’ which are FREE to explore. According to the heritageopendays.org.uk web site – these events are part of ‘England’s largest festival of history and culture’.
Thanks to the generosity of Dementia-friendly Alton, we will have the use of the Assembly Rooms and we have invited local clubs, groups, societies and businesses to join in and have a table where they can share their history with everyone. The national theme this year is Architecture but we also hope to feature the history of our brewing industry as well.
Alton has a rich and varied history which we are proud of and that we need to preserve and publicise while, at the same time, we are supporting the valuable work that is being done by Dementia Friendly (for whom donations will be very welcome). Do join us between 10.00am and 3.00pm. Refreshments will be available.
