Give feedback on this pageThe guide books for this year’s Vale of Clwyd Heritage Open Days are now ready.
You can call and order your free copy and see what Ruthin and Denbigh have to offer when they open their doors this September – Ruthin on 13 and 14 and Denbigh on 20 and 21.
There is a wide range of walks and tours, some of which need to be pre-booked, so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.
Other free activities available each weekend include:

Denbigh Castle hosts the event ‘The Barber Surgeon and Scabius Corpus’.
There are two exhibitions being held at the Welsh Language Centre in Denbigh – one showing radio a ‘Welsh Language Timeline Exhibition’ and ‘Wireless in Wales’ - this new exhibition aims to tell the story of the discovery and early development of wireless and the unique connections with Wales and Welsh pioneers of radio.

European Heritage Days are an initiative of the Council of Europe. Launched in 1991, last year over 20 million people visited all the participating sites throughout Europe. In Wales, European Heritage Days are co-ordinated on behalf of Cadw - the Welsh Assembly Government's historic environment division - by the Civic Trust for Wales.
The weekends are made possible by the combined efforts of Denbigh Civic Society, Ruthin and District Civic Association, Denbigh Town Council, Ruthin Town Council and Denbighshire County Council in addition to the contribution of owners and volunteers.
