The annual event, from September 12-15, shines a spotlight on those who have played a role in our heritage: artists and architects, diarists and journalists, miners, monarchs, and explorers.

This year's celebration is an opportunity to discover the people who made history in your part of the country, and create your own piece of history at England's biggest, free heritage festival. Many buildings normally closed to the public are taking part, revealing their secrets, or holding special events and festivals.

"Last year's Heritage Open Days was the biggest ever event with over 4,500 properties taking part," says Loyd Grossman, patron of Heritage Open Days.

"In 2013 we're building on that success, with hundreds of secret places to discover and new tales to be told."
