2008 saw 46853 visits made over the 4 days - let's make it even bigger this year.
Over the weekend you will get a chance, free of charge, to step into the past and find out more about the 2000 years of history that has made the North East the vibrant place that it is today. The event booklets are available from most Tyne and Wear visitor/tourist information centres, libraries, civic centres and other cultural venues . As always, this website has all the listing details, late additions and changes and the tools to help you organise your TWHODs weekend and get the most out of it.

It’s simple:
Tyne and Wear Heritage Open Days would like to thank the Northern Rock Foundation for recognising the importance of this event within the region and agreeing to support its development and promotion for another three years. The grant assistance from the Northern Rock Foundation will ensure the production of the excellent Tyne and Wear booklet and development of the Tyne and Wear website until 2009
