Heritage Open Days Launch Event

Date: 2nd September 2021

“Talks by experts, and the chance to play a huge selection of video games old and new, made this event a great success at attracting its target age group and introducing them to what is perhaps a less well-known aspect of Sheffield’s cultural heritage.

We are delighted to have been part of such a high-profile initiative and look forward to sharing what we have learned about attracting younger audiences to heritage venues with our Heritage Open Days participants”
