It's Yorkshire Churches Day

Saturday, 14 September 2024 06:00

The Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust are hosting Yorkshire Churches Day on Saturday.

They say it's a chance for every place of worship in the county to open up and showcase the amazing history and heritage found inside their buildings.

The aim of the day is to encourage people to explore local churches even if they have never stepped foot inside one before. It will be a day for those who are curious about history and the heritage of their local surroundings.

Once again, YCD is running in partnership with the Heritage Open Days festival (HOD), whose theme is ‘Routes – Networks – Connections’.

This year, as well as individual churches opening, in line with the HOD theme, many are working together to put on trails, offering refreshments and entertainment to encourage visitors to spend a day exploring several different churches whether that be on foot, by bike or by car.

The Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust provides funding for churches, chapels and places of worship for all Christian denominations.
