This festive season will see English Heritage lower the drawbridge at many of its properties across the country for the first time on Boxing Day.

This will include Pendennis Castle, Falmouth.

The charity has extended the opening days of some of its finest historic properties to include the national holiday this year.

Liz Page, English Heritage's Historic Properties Director, said:

"We hope that by opening a number of beautiful historic properties this Boxing Day we're giving visitors an opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the calm after the storm of Christmas day where they can unwind and explore with their families."

English Heritage will be running a competition on its Twitter account (@EnglishHeritage) from Thursday 19th December where the public will be able to re-tweet for a chance to win a range of great special offers: from 2 for 1 entry to any of our properties to discounts in the gift shop.

These prizes can be redeemed at all sites listed below which are open between Boxing Day and 1 January 2020.
