Wellington Heritage Week 2018

Following the great success of the inaugural Wellington Heritage Week last October, the Wellington Heritage Week Trust are organising a second event for 22 – 28 October 2018. This year HPW is not a co-sponsor of the Week, but we encourage anyone interested to attend events. The programme of events is available on the Trust’s website. Some require bookings.

There are also a few other events during the week that we have listed on our website.
