Avebury is supporting Heritage Open Days with free entry to fascinating venues on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September from 10am to 5pm.
Entry to Avebury Manor, Avebury Manor garden, including the popular Sculpture Exhibition, and the Alexander Keiller museum will be free of charge.
Free guided tours of the World Heritage Site stone circles will also be available, subject to availability.
Visitors to the Grade 1 Listed Avebury Manor can discover the story of previous occupants, from Tudor courtiers and farming families to archaeologists, servants, and children.
Younger visitors will find plenty of spaces to play, read, and explore.
Avebury Manor Garden is arranged as a series of ‘rooms’ each with a different character.
A spokesperson said: "This year marks the 10th anniversary of the sculpture exhibition, where beautiful sculptures and artwork are on display throughout the garden, set against the backdrop of colourful seasonal planting.
"More than 20 artists will be exhibiting their work this year and all the sculptures are for sale."
The Alexander Keiller Museum displays finds from across the Avebury part of the World Heritage Site.
Visitors can learn more about the history and archaeology of Avebury stone circles, from its founding over 4500 years ago through the turbulent Medieval period to the re-erection of parts during the 1930s and the influence of Alexander Keiller.
