Lode Heritage develop, manage and deliver heritage projects across the UK, working with museums, heritage sites, charities and churches to realise ambitious and purposeful change.

We support projects from initial research, scoping and feasibility, through audience development planning and bid writing, to funder liaison, project management and delivery. We have particular expertise in managing projects supported by major heritage funders, including The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England.

Our work is defined by an audience-centred approach, placing communities and users at the heart of decision-making and ensuring that investment in heritage assets delivers genuine public benefit. We have a strong track record of maximising the wider organisational value of the projects we lead, carefully aligning capital works and interpretation with organisational development and community engagement to secure lasting impact for our clients.

We are highly experienced in assembling and managing expert consultant teams tailored to each commission. As a small team of specialist staff supported by trusted retained associates, we offer the resilience and breadth of an agency combined with the bespoke, personal service and direct access of a sole practitioner. Friendly, straightforward and critically engaged, we bring both professional rigour and a genuine love of history and heritage to every project.
