The Town House is a grade 1 Listed terraced home of the mid-1820s, developed as a heritage centre with a focus on the city’s rich architectural legacy. The Town House is supported by The Brunswick Town Charitable Trust, registered UK charity number 1012216. About the Event Brighton & Hove Open Door is always staged during the second week of September, as a part of the national Heritage Open Days (HODs) – a once-a-year chance to discover architectural treasures and enjoy tours and activities about local history and culture. The Town House team have participated in HODs since its inception in 1994. This year, Open Door is bigger and better than ever, with 180+ venues and activities on offer. When using this guide, please note that we have set out the listings in 14 thematic categories and that within each category we have provided first the Open Door events on offer (which require no pre booking) and then the venues and activities that require pre-booking, either via The Regency Town House website (www.rth.org.uk) or our telephone booking line 01273 206306. We hope you find the thematic categories useful but do please bear in mind that they are somewhat arbitrary and you may find an event in an unexpected listing. This year we are again promoting the MyHouseMyStreet initiative; which will introduce you to the history and residents of local thoroughfares over the last 180-years. We hope that this year’s mini exhibitions might encourage you to consider joining the MyHouseMyStreet project, we would welcome your input to the large-scale exhibitions we are staging in 2011. Further details available at: www.MyHouseMyStreet.org.uk If you would like to assist us with the organisation of future Open Door events, if you would like to participate as a venue or activity organiser, or if you have suggestions for improvements, always very welcome, do please contact us via: The Regency Town House, 13 Brunswick Square, Hove, BN3 1EH, Tel. 01273 206306 / email: [email protected] Thanks During 2010 we have continued our efforts to transform Open Door into one of Brighton & Hove’s great annual celebrations – a permanent event in our ‘city of festivals' yearly schedule. Achieving an increase from 155 events in 2009 to 181 this year is testimony to the hard work of the many people involved in organising Open Door and we are grateful to them all, especially our Town House volunteers and the venue and activity organizers; who are giving so generously of their time - Nick Tyson, Curator, The Regency Town House Please Note: Events that must be pre-booked, prior to attendance, can be reserved via: 01273 206306 or online at http://www.rth.org.uk/opendoor10 Brighton & Hove Open Door – great days out for free Brighton & Hove Open Door 2010 Programme 3 General Category - Open Door Description ...it started with a handful of faded memories, the shadow of the (pre-booking not required) unspoken, and a box of old photographs - moments captured in composition, frozen in time like suspended conversations.
