In 2015, we took part in Heritage Open Days in September, opening St Andrews to the public for one day only!
Opened in 1903, St Andrews has been a feature of the Harrogate landscape for more than 100 years. Almost
200 people came on the day to visit the centre and learn more about our history and how we help officers.
We were also delighted to be working with
Ripon Museums Trust. On the day, volunteers from the Prison & Police Museum joined us at St Andrews talking about the history of policing, with handling boxes with truncheons, hats & more for people to see & try on!
The trust looks after three sites within the centre of the city of Ripon, which tell the unique story of the Liberty Courthouse, Prison and Victorian Workhouse.
head to their website to find out more!
Heritage Open Days is England's biggest heritage festival involving 40,000 volunteers. It celebrates our fantastic history, architecture and culture; offering people the chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences - all of which are FREE to explore.
