Events at Upton Hall
Although the Institute doesn't open Upton Hall to non-member visitors throughout the year, there are always 'special occasions' when the public can gain access to this wonderful building and its collection of fascinating clocks and watches.
Each spring and autumn, on the Sunday marking the beginning and end of British Summer Time, the Institute holds Open Days, called 'Spring Forward' and 'Fall Back'.
Each summer, the Institute holds a three-day show for Institute members and the public alike, when special events usually include workshop demonstrations, trade stands, and an auction of horological items.
All our events are a great opportunity to see the Hall and collection, and meet up with others interested in horology in all its forms.
Spring Forward!
