Abingdon loves to celebrate its rich and very visible heritage. Every year in September we join in with the Heritage Open Days programme which runs across the country (and abroad) and offer a diverse and entertaining range of ways to learn more about our past.
2026 Heritage Weekend
19th - 20th September
The 2026 national Heritage Open Days festival has set the theme of "Working Lives "
Abingdon Heritage Weekend is an event managed by Friends of Abingdon Civic Society, working closely with the Abingdon and Area Archeological and Historical Society, and is run by a committee of volunteers. We aim to hold a heritage event every year in September, and the scale and scope of the event varies depending on the year and the budget. If you would like to become an organising volunteer please register your details here and we will contact you in late September/early October so that you can join in the planning for the next heritage event in 2026.
