HERITAGE OPEN DAYS EXPLORE SHEETS 11-20 September 2026

The Friends of old Folkestone cemetery are very happy to join the Heritage Open Day community – and they have lots of interesting stories to share with you.

Heritage Open Days is Englands largest festival of history and culture. Every September thousands of volunteers across England organise events to celebrate our fantastic history and culture. Its your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences all of which are FREE to explore.

From 11th to 20th September. More at www.heritageopendays.org.uk

Do come along on one of the Saturday mornings to meet our volunteers who will show you around, but if you cant get there there are some EXPLORE SHEETS listed here for you to download so that you can follow any cemetery trail at your leisure.
