Heritage Open Days

Did you know it is Heritage Open Days this week? 🏛️
Across the UK, hundreds of historic buildings, gardens, and hidden gems open their doors to the public for free, celebrating our shared culture and history. It is a chance to step behind the scenes, explore fascinating sites, and discover stories you might not usually get access to.
But here is something we love to highlight at Loo of the Year Awards…
Behind every castle, museum, stately home, or visitor centre experience, there is one facility that visitors will always need to find: the toilets!
Toilets are part of heritage too — whether it is beautifully restored Victorian conveniences, innovative Changing Places facilities, or modern washrooms designed to complement historic surroundings. A great loo can enhance a visit just as much as a grand staircase or secret garden.
That is why we champion excellence in washrooms everywhere — from the newest eco-build to the oldest heritage attraction.
So, if you are exploring Heritage Open Days this week, take a moment to appreciate the facilities that help keep our heritage accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone.
Because let us face it… history is better experienced when you are comfortable! 😉
