Each September thousands of volunteers across the country invite you to experience local history, architecture and culture. All for free.

This year Heritage Open days returns between 10-19 September and here are a couple in Felixstowe for you too enjoy.

Submarine Mining Establishment at Felixstowe Museum

There will be a guided tour of the Ravelin Block, where the Felixstowe Museum now stands. Beginning outside, the tour will go through the narrow trolleyway through the building where the mines were prepared and tested. This includes a look into the Smith's Shop which is not normally open to museum visitors.

The tour will then trace the track through to the remains of the riverside mining jetty where the mines were loaded onto the steam launch 'Nellie' to be laid across the river mouth.

Dogs on a short lead are welcome. Maximum 10 people per tour/session. No booking required.
