I am so excited to be writing this blog post about this year’s Heritage Open Days at St. Denys church!  Your St. Denys Church team has prepared wonderful events for you to enjoy during this week.

This year’s theme is Routes, Networks and Connections, so we have tailored events to explore more about how St. Denys Church connects with Southampton and adjacent areas. We have prepared guided walks, movie night and music night for your enjoyment throughout the week!

On Thursday, the 12^th of September you can enjoy a different movie night where we will be appreciating Railway journeys, featuring Michael Portillo, surrounded by the historical Victorian atmosphere of our lovely St. Denys church!

We will start the guided tours on the 14^th of September at 10am when our very own historian Frank Green will show us all the fantastic history that our lovely church holds. The guided walks will also happen at 2pm on Saturday, and 2pm on the following Sunday. If you are passionate about history and St. Denys Church be sure to not miss the talk that Frank will be presenting on Sunday at 3pm!
