Families can enjoy free entry to National Trust property Mottisfont, near Romsey, this weekend as part of the Heritage Open Days event.
The free festival, which runs until Sunday (September 20), invites everyone to discover new places, hidden histories and local stories.
This year’s theme, Everyday Histories, celebrates the working lives, routines and places that have quietly shaped England’s heritage.

The maids rooms will also be open. Climb the servants’ staircase to get a glimpse into life for those who lived there in the 20th century.
