NOVEMBER 6 - 7 2004, STONEHENGE: The iconic monument of Stonehenge will be opening free of charge from November 6-7, to mark the National Lottery's 10th birthday.
English Heritage is offering the general public free entrance to the world famous site, which is one of hundreds of lottery grant aided sites planning special celebrations to mark the anniversary.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has already provided a development grant of £1.2 million towards a proposed new world class visitor-centre, improved facilities and better access into the Stonehenge landscape.
A planning application is currently with Salisbury District Council and if successful further funding of £25 million could be forthcoming from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which has already approved a Stage 1 pass. This funding is subject to a successful Stage 2 application.
These improvements are part of The Stonehenge Project, a move to return this World Heritage Site to the peaceful and dignified setting it deserves.
