Eight historic buildings in Bath and North East Somerset will open their doors to the public for free entry, as part of an event coordinated and promoted by the Council.

Always popular with visitors, the Heritage Open Days event, from Thursday, 11 September to Sunday, 14 September, includes two buildings run by Bath & North East Somerset Council - No 4 The Circus, and St John's Museum Store, on the corner of Upper Bristol Road and Locksbrook Road.

Anyone who has always wanted a glimpse inside a Georgian house, or wondered exactly what went on when the Victorians went for spa treatment, now has the chance to find out.

Local sites open are Englishcombe Tithe Barn, Saltford Brass Mill, Bath Masonic Hall, Central United Reformed Church, 4 The Circus, St John's Museum Store, St Swithin's Church and Somerset & Dorset Railway Heritage Trust.

A leaflet can be downloaded from www.bathnes.gov.uk/heritageevents or you can pick up a copy from the Roman Baths, the library or any of the Council reception points.

The James Grieve and Grenadier apple trees are cropping well this year. The Bramley, Spartan and Russet apple trees are cropping better than last year. The Cox apple trees are still rather patchy.

The aim of the Zero Waste Challenge Week is to see how little you can throw away over the course of a week by making a special effort to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost as much as possible instead.  Overall, people who have taken part previously have reduced their rubbish to just ¼ of what they normally throw away.  

The challenge is open to any community group however large or small. B&NES Waste Services can help you promote the challenge by providing you with support, ideas and information packs, providing talks, attending meetings, and through the website.

The briefing event for the challenge is being held at Culverhay School, Rush Hill, Bath on Wednesday 16th July from 7pm-8pm.

If you would like to register to take part in the challenge or discuss any of this in more detail, please contact Council Connect on 01225 394041 councilconnect@bathnes.gov.uk

The Zero Waste Challenge Week is a fun but important way to recycle and compost as much as possible and think of how we can throw less away.  Already over 10 schools and community groups have already signed up to take part.
