Heritage Open Day and Classic Car Show postponed

Heritage Open Day and Classic Car Show

The Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk and organising members of the Civic Society have made the joint decision that it is appropriate to postpone Heritage Open Day and the Classic Car Show that were planned for this Sunday, as a mark of respect following the death of HM The Queen.

Whilst we have only just made the decision to postpone these events we do hope we will be able to reorganise them in the coming weeks. The borough council would especially like to thank the Civic Society and all those involved in planning this complex event for their efforts and significant amount of work involved in changing these arrangements.

Activities scheduled to take place at the Custom House and St George's Guildhall in connection with the Towns Fund on Sunday have been cancelled in line with Heritage Open Day.
