HERITAGE DAY IS NOW SOLD OUT. Follow #HeritageDay on social media on the day for the latest news.

Please note that Heritage Day has been rescheduled to 26th February (due to the unusual circumstances we found ourselves in at the end of 2019 with a General Election on 12th December).

Heritage Day will be held at the stunning Tower of London. Join our Chair Peter Ainsworth, Sir Tim Laurence, Chair of English Heritage and the Minister for Arts, Heritage and Tourism Helen Whately MP.

This popular event offers delegates the chance to meet a wide range of colleagues from across the sector and hear eminent speakers address the latest issues affecting the future of our heritage.

After a networking lunch the day sees several ‘HEDx’ talks where members share their expertise and lessons learnt with the rest of the sector, and culminates in the Heritage Alliance’s AGM. We will also see the presentation of our Ecclesiastical’s Heritage Heroes Awards and the annual launch of Heritage Counts.

Free Consultancy 1:1

We are offering Free Consultancy 1:1 surgeries to attendees at Heritage Day (Heritage Alliance Members will receive priority for any slot). These are a great opportunity to benefit from expert advice to support your organisation.

We still have a number of places left for 10 minute sessions with expert consultants between [9.30 and 10.30], and [1pm and 2.15pm] on Heritage Day. The organisations delivering surgeries are:

Bates Wells: Legal Advice

Ecclesiastical Insurance: Building and Health & Safety Advice

Tricolor Associates: Fundraising and Project Development

To book: please email Delphine at development@theheritagealliance.org.uk. Spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Providing a short summary of your questions will enable you to get the most out of the surgery.

New Member Offer

This year, any non-members who book a place at Heritage Day before the day will have the price for one attendee deducted off their membership subscription fee when they join the Heritage Alliance as a full or affiliate member. This offer is available until the event of the day and only open to organisations applying for membership for the first time.
