Hillingdon Heritage Membership, introduced to coincide with Heritage Open Days (September 12-21), the UK’s largest annual celebration of history and culture, gives members access to events and activities not available to regular visitors. Featured venues include the Battle of Britain Bunker Exhibition and Visitor Centre at Uxbridge, Manor Farm House and The Great Barn in Ruislip, Cranford Park, Hayes and Eastcote House Gardens. With annual costs starting from £32, the advantages of special ‘member days’ include dedicated access and priority booking for walks and tours, as well as discounts on food, drinks and gift shop items. The Museum and Archives Service and new local history museum, currently under construction at the Civic Centre in Uxbridge and due to open in December, is also covered by membership. Cllr Eddie Lavery, Cabinet Member for Community and Environment, said: “Hillingdon has a wonderfully vibrant heritage with some unique locations for residents and visitors to come and explore, uncover history and see how it has shaped today’s borough.”Visit www.hillingdon.gov.uk/heritage-membership.
