Key attractions opening their doors for free include Milton Keynes Museum, Great Linford Manor Park, Westbury Arts Centre, Milton Keynes City Discovery Centre, The Stables Theatre, Milton Keynes Arts Centre and the Cowper & Newton Museum in Olney.
Living Archive MK is funded by Milton Keynes City Council to manage this flagship annual heritage event for the new city and it is delivered by all the heritage, cultural and community organisations who give their time and resources to make these events free.
The theme for this year is Routes, Networks and Connections and the open days take people on journeys as far afield as Ukraine, India and Sierra Leone, with workshops, exhibitions, film screenings and events celebrating the contribution that their communities have made to our new city.
