While little will be available in Evesham, there will be plenty of opportunities to visit landmarks in nearby towns and villages.

Here is what will be available around Evesham in 2024:

The church, parts of which were first built in the 12th century, will show its long and storied history for Heritage Open Days.

Members of the Badsey Bellringers will take visitors on a tour of the bell tower, where the church's six bells are housed as well as recently uncovered medieval graffiti.

Guided walks starting from the church will also take groups around the historic buildings at 11am and 2pm.

The church will be open between 10am and 4pm on Saturday (September 7) and Sunday (September 8).
