Haworth Art Gallery is offering visitors the chance to play traditional games, learn the ukulele and learn about its famous collection of Tiffany glass later this month.

The chances will come when it throws open its doors as part of this national Heritage Open Day.

The Accrington venue's special event entitled “Routes, Networks and Connections" is on Sunday, September 15, from 12pm to 4pm.

The gallery will offer people a community day filled with engaging activities, workshops, guided tours, and much more.

Entry is free, and no tickets are required.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore why Haworth Art Gallery in Manchester Road has been cherished for more than 100 years.

Its connections stretch from Hyndburn to the far corners of the world, and this event will highlight these fascinating links through guided tours of the house, collections, artists' studios, and grounds tours led by knowledgeable staff and volunteers.

One of the highlights includes discovering US-designed Tiffany’s fascination with archaeological glass and the advancements in chemistry that led to the remarkable iridescent effect, tracing a journey from Cyprus to New York.

Guests can meet Mr Beach the coachman for a tour of the Motor House and Stables, now home to a vibrant group of artists and artisans.

Families are encouraged to join in the fun with a variety of workshops and activities.

They include playing traditional games with the Friends of Haworth Art Gallery, creating imaginative puppet stories, and making giant bubbles on the front lawn.

Other activities include free family crafts inspired by Tiffany glass, free ukulele workshops, a tombola, artist’s studios open for browsing, tours and talks throughout the day, exploring the gallery and food and drink from the Gallery Kitchen.

Cllr Kimberley Whitehead, Hyndburn Council's culture boss, said: “Heritage Open Day at Haworth Art Gallery is a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals to connect with our rich local history and enjoy a day of creativity and learning.

"We are proud to support such a vibrant and inclusive event that brings our community together.

"We hope people can join us at Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington for a memorable day celebrating our heritage."

Heritage Open Day is England’s largest free festival of history and culture held every September. Several attractions across East Lancashire will be taking part in the event.
