Heritage Open Day
Come and enjoy Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse as part of Heritage Open Days, the country's largest community heritage festival. This event coincides with the Friends of Gressenhall Museum's 50th anniversary. Celebrate their 50 years' worth of achievements. Meet the volunteer teams, enjoy the local choir performing, and take part in a variety of activities from crafts to workhouse trail tours. Wander through Village Row (to be officially re-opened by an original member of the Friends) and explore the general store, forge, seed merchants, and Cherry Tree Cottage to step into a bygone era. See the 1922 Farmers Foundry engine steaming up (approx 11am-2pm) and Norfolk's oldest working car, a rare 1899 Panhard et Levassor. Follow the story of farming from its Neolithic roots to the Women's Land Army, and meet the rare Suffolk horses, cows, pigs, goats and Norfolk Horn sheep on Union Farm!

Free admission, advanced booking is not required.
