Heritage Open Day Sunday 20/09/2026
Many thanks to Leeds Civic Trust for their generous support for our 2026 Heritage Open Day.
To quote from the Heritage Open Day website:
We were pleased to give a number of grants this year for people and organisations to host Heritage Open Days events.
One of our grants is being used to fund 'Farsley Rehoboth Burial Ground Heritage Day Tour '
You are invited to tour a 200 year old burial ground that for years was neglected and untended. It is now reclaimed as a community asset to share its history, war graves, nature and ecology with connections and routes linking the past to the present.
The theme this year is “Everyday History”, we have produced a special trail guide covering 18 specific people and families.
Our tour will include newly reclaimed and restored areas in the oldest visible part of the burial ground.
As on every one of our previous Heritage Open Days, all visitors will be given a complementary white carnation to place on a grave of their choice.
It is advisable to wear sturdy footwear.
The Heritage Open Day is on Sunday 20th September, hourly tours from 11:00-16:00. Free, but pre-booking required full details and booking form are at this link:
Please note NO dogs allowed, other than Assistance Dogs.
