DO YOU own, work in or know of a building whose story you would like to share?

If so, a special workshop in Worcester about how to unlock that building's potential and open it to members of the public should help.

The Civic Trust, in partnership with English Heritage, is hosting the event to bolster Heritage Open Days.

Local organisations and interested individuals in Worcestershire and Hereford-shire are invited to learn how to get involved with Heritage Open Days - England's annual celebration of architecture, culture and history that offers free access to thousands of buildings and places across the country.

The workshop, which runs from 12.30pm to 4pm on Thursday, March 9, kicks off with a special guided tour of Worcester Cathedral and offers sessions on how to show off local buildings, promote events and first-hand tips from experienced Heritage Open Day participants.

Early booking is advisable to ensure a workshop place.

Katja Condy, Heritage Open Days manager, said: "Heritage Open Day is about discovering buildings and celebrating your community. Free of charge and on your doorstep, it is an event for everyone.

"Worcestershire and Here-fordshire are steeped in history and can boast such a great wealth of heritage. It would be great to unlock more of the area's hidden gems and reveal their untold stories."
