About Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival
|
Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival is an annual event celebrating the city's architecture, culture & heritage through a free programme of open buildings and events. For one week each September we throw open the doors of over 100 historic buildings, theatres, museum stores, factories, studios, breweries & more, across the city, to the public, for free.
Organised by Glasgow Building Preservation Trust since it began in 1990, the event has grown from what was a weekend of open buildings to a week-long festival encompassing guided walks, talks, exhibitions & special events. Glasgow Doors Open Days is part of a family of Doors Open Days events taking place across Scotland throughout September, coordinated nationally by the Scottish Civic Trust.

Running since 1990, Glasgow Doors Open Days has opened the doors of hundreds of buildings across the city, welcoming over 89,000 visitors in the past five years alone - and all completely free of charge. Each year we have to fundraise to cover core costs such as printing and distributing our 80,000 brochures. For 2018 we have opened an online donation system and are asking visitors to donate to help us reach our target. |
If every visitor to the 2017 Glasgow Doors Open Days contributed just 10p we would reach our fundraising target.
