Heritage Open Day
10.00am to 5.00pm (last admission 4.30pm)
Croxteth Hall is opening its doors for free as part of the Civic Trust's programme of Heritage Open Days.
Heritage Open Days celebrate England's fantastic architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission. Every year in September, buildings of every age, style and function throw open their doors, ranging from castles to factories, town halls to tithe barns, parish churches to Buddhist temples. It is a once-a-year chance to discover hidden architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities which bring to life local history and culture.
Sunday 14 September
