Open House Returns

Mini Open House Havering returns

Nine of Havering’s best buildings will open their doors to everyone for free as part of a Mini Open House on Saturday 31 May, and there’s also a heritage walk around Rainham Village.

​
Residents and visitors can enjoy a trip to a number of listed buildings including Upminster Windmill, Rainham Hall, The Old Chapel, Bower House, Langtons House & Gardens and Upminster Tithe Barn Museum.
 
Romford Fire Station is also opening its doors to the public and fire fighters are sure to be popular with children as they show off the station and engines.

Other buildings included in the open day are the RSPB Rainham Marshes Visitor Centre and St Albans Church. There is also a guided walk titled ‘Upminster old and new’ with local historian Brian Evans. 
 
With free admission to all buildings, the programme also includes a number of tours, displays and walks.

 

A leaflet which details each of the buildings and events will be available in all Havering libraries.
