Canterbury’s annual two-week extravaganza of the arts will return this autumn from 16 – 31 October 2026. Expect classical concerts and eclectic gigs, theatre, circus, talks, family events and more in the heart of historic Canterbury.

WHAT IS HERITAGE EXPO 26? Our city’s heritage is unique: we embrace a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attract millions of tourists each year, and are applying to become a UNESCO City of Literature. Heritage Expo 26 is a day-long (10.00-16.00) exhibition featuring numerous groups, commercial and charitable, that have an interest in or connection to this magnificent heritage. The day presents a special opportunity to get together, network with like-minded groups, and promote your cause. Last year, one organisation signed up over a dozen new members!
