Join us for a vibrant day of history, creativity and community as Boston’s town centre transforms into a living celebration of its rich heritage! As part of the national Heritage Open Day scheme, this free event brings together street theatre, exhibitions, workshops, and immersive experiences for all ages across the Market Place, outside The Stump, and Boston Guildhall Museum.

Expect walkabout performances from Artizani’s Lifeboat, Mark Mark Productions’ Hilary & Edmund and Feasible Ferret’s The Wrong Brothers. Around Blenkin, Grimm & 1000 Faces will bring the story of Herbert Ingram to life in spectacular style.

Inside Boston Guildhall Museum, photographer Sam Atkins presents Through the Lens of Herbert Ingram, a live portrait experience using vintage cameras and instant film. Be part of the Illustrating Boston News project and see your story captured in real time!

Dive into the past and future with MBD’s virtual reality headsets, offering immersive journeys through Boston’s history using cutting-edge tech.

Explore the town with self-led trails, scavenger hunts, and hands on design workshops. Guided tours led by Jane Keighly from Heritage Lincolnshire and Cultural Quarter partners will uncover the secrets of Boston’s architecture and heritage.

Plus, enjoy stalls, crafts, and local food in the Market Place throughout the day!
