Natalie Craven has emailed me from The Landmark Trust to tell me about a rather unusual open day.
She writes:
“I’m emailing from The Landmark Trust to share details of a rare opportunity to explore Elton House, a beautifully preserved Georgian townhouse in the heart of Bath, usually occupied by holiday guests, for the Heritage Open Days festival.
Open Days, Saturday 19 – Sunday 20 September, 10 am – 4 pm
Elton House will open its doors for free public Open Days. Explore the building at your leisure, find out about its former residents, and view the Museum Room full of fascinating objects relating to the house’s past. Pre-booking via Eventbrite is preferred. Free entry, all welcome.
