AN HISTORIC Wanstead building is due to open seven-days-a-week in celebration of the Olympics.

The Temple in Wanstead Park is usually only open at weekends and bank holidays, but will be open every day between July 27 and August 12.

The Temple is a Grade II listed building which dates back to the 1760s.

It will be running during the Olympics a series of guided walks, a drop-in art and craft event centring on making a cardboard doll's house echoing the old Wanstead House and a regency sports day.
