Heather Heritage

Marketing & Communications for Arts & Heritage

The story behind the storytelling

Hello, I’m Heather, a marketing and communications consultant based in Somerset. I work independently with heritage organisations to help them grow their audiences and celebrate the magic of their stories.

Bringing Heritage to life through storytelling

​I work with stately homes, historic gardens, museums and galleries to capture imaginations through creative campaigns, compelling stories and strategies that bring more visitors through the door.


My focus is on storytelling that makes historic buildings, artefacts and art feel magical – transforming a visit into an experience that stays with us long after we’ve left.
