New Year, New Blog!

The year has started and, as we close the door on the Jubilee of Hope, we launch our very special theme for 2026, Sacred Stories.

Visit us to see and hear remarkable and sacred stories and share some of your own. Explore our exhibitions, visit the Chapel or set off on our self-guided Walking Tour.

There’s a lot to look forward to at the Heritage Centre in 2026 and we hope you can join us.
