Give a little, get a lot...


​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.
