Rushmoor Heritage Festival  in Farnborough

The Rushmoor Heritage Festival is an annual fortnight-long celebration of Aldershot and Farnborough's rich history and culture, typically held in September. Visitors are invited to experience the towns in a new light through a diverse programme of heritage-themed activities and family-friendly fun.

A key highlight of the festival is the participation in Heritage Open Days, where many local historical sites open their doors, providing unique opportunities to explore hidden places and captivating spaces. Past festivals have featured popular attractions such as guided tours of Farnborough's Wind Tunnel and Centrifuge, open days at the FAST Museum and Farnborough Hill School, and insights into Tice's Meadow. The event aims to reveal the unique aviation, military, natural, and cultural heritage of the area, with many activities being free to attend.
