The good, the bad... and the bunting! Our amazing festival is over for another year, but we couldn't visit all the thousands of events, so we need you to tell us - how did it go?

Eight sites crowned regional winners in new award celebrating England’s local champions of everyday heritage! The winners were revealed today following thousands of votes after the shortlist was announced in August by historian David Olusoga and UK family history website, Findmypast.

Do you know who started the Paralympics? Where Drag came from? How to read the symbols in African textiles? What about the link between Laundry Basket Lucy in 1851 and John in 1951? Are you ready to explore some stories that don’t often get told – be prepared, whilst some are joyful, and curious, others are poignant and challenging, but all are important. Explore more with these events over the festival.
