Heritage Week co-ordinator Sandy Bathgate said while Bathurst's heritage is a "365-day-a-year asset", the week of activities allows members of the community and local visitors to delve deeper into the history behind notable local landmarks.

"There'll be over 20 heritage events throughout the week, including tours, building inspections, lectures, talks and special displays," Mr Bathgate said.
