Join us for a special Heritage Open Day as we throw open our doors for one of the last times before embarking on our exciting £4.5 million National Lottery Heritage restoration project.

Our doors will open from 11:00 AM to a wide range of activities for everyone to enjoy. From heritage treasure hunts and hands-on marbling workshops to tea, cake and conversation, there's something for all ages to discover.

You'll also have the opportunity to find out more about our restoration project and sign up to become one of our future heritage volunteers.

Whatever you choose to explore, we look forward to welcoming you. Read on to discover what's happening throughout the day.

The Heros of HTH Treasure Hunt

Pick up your trail guide from our Children & Families area and set off on an exciting quest around the Trinity Triangle in search of the Heroes of HTH!

Our handmade heritage character dolls will be hidden in local shops, cafés and community spaces around the Triangle. See if you can find them all and tick each one off on your trail sheet as you go.

Once you've completed your hunt, return your guide to claim a small prize as a reward for your detective work!

A fun, free activity for children and families of all ages.

Accessibility

Churches are meant to be for everyone and anyone, but we recognise that they can at times be quite inaccessible or overwhelming spaces for some people. Accessibility is really important to us, and as part of our restoration works, we are working to address accessibility across HTH and make the building a more welcoming and accessible space for everyone.

In the meantime, our accessible step-free access entrance is via the Claremont Street door, and we have an accessible toilet located on the first floor. If you’re planning to visit and have specific access needs, please get in touch to let us know how we can help make your visit as comfortable and accessible as possible.

Assistance Dogs

Guide dogs, hearing dogs and assistance dogs are welcome in the church at all times. There are lots of nice places around HTH to walk your furry friends but unless they’re assistance dogs they sadly wont be allowed into the church building itself.

Hearing loop

We have a hearing loop available to support visitors who are hard of hearing.

Workshop Booking Terms

Please note that all workshop bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable, as these are one-off Heritage Open Day events with a limited number of places.

If you are no longer able to attend, please email us as soon as possible. Where possible, we will contact anyone on our waiting list to see if they would like to take up your place. If your place is successfully rebooked, we will be happy to offer you a refund.

Please note that we cannot guarantee that your place will be resold, and if we are unable to fill your space, no refund will be available.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make these special heritage events possible.
