Meet the team
Sarah Holloway
I've been part of the HODs family for many years and seen it grow and diversify into an amazing community network as well as a wonderful showcase for our sector. It's an honour and a joy to work with everyone involved. I love learning about new places and sharing their stories - overseeing that network and curating the blog gives a great geographic overview of quirky heritage hotspots! So whether you're an old friend or a new face, I’m at the end of the phone or email for queries, big or small, just give me a shout.

Liam Montgomery
I joined the HODs team in 2021. Coming from a background in museums, I’m incredibly passionate about the heritage sector and I love being a part of such an engaging and diverse festival. I oversee marketing across a wide variety of channels, run our youth co-creation programme New Wave, coordinate photography, and produce various printed materials. If you have any questions on marketing or the promotion of your events, feel free to drop me an email.

I have been part of the HODs team since 2017, and am looking forward to the hugely exciting times ahead for the festival. I support the operational delivery of the festival, and am usually on the other end of the phone to organisers and visitors. I look forward to finding new and exciting events, and exploring the diversity that Heritage Open Days has to offer.

As the Registration Assistant, I am here to help with any registration or festival-based queries you may have! Going into my fifth Heritage Open Days festival, I am looking forward to learning more about England's hidden heritage, highlighted by the fantastic events put on by our organisers, as well as discovering new stories brought to light with our annual theme.

I am the newest member of the team and so excited to be working on another festival! I work on the marketing delivery of the festival, including: social media, press, newsletters and marketing materials. I also support on our youth engagement programme New Wave. I love discovering new sites and stories and helping to share them - I am always happy to help, so feel free to pop me an email if you think I can!

Stephanie Brown
I'm a freelance social media specialist, and have worked in arts, culture and heritage for over 20 years. In 2025 I had the pleasure of looking after the Heritage Open Days social media channels during the peak pre-festival months, and throughout the festival itself. I was delighted to be asked back for 2026, and am looking forward to being part of this fantastic community again this year.
