Heritage Open Doors

Over the first three weekends in September, the Open Doors programme offers free access to buildings and sites of architectural and historical interest in Wales. The event is supported by Cadw, the Welsh Assembly Government’s historic environment division, and organised by the Civic Trust for Wales.

Almost 200 sites across Wales are opening their doors to the public as part of a Europe-wide celebration of the heritage. These sites – many of which usually charge for admission or are not generally open to the public – range from public buildings, houses, castles and churches to archaeological or industrial sites, museums and gardens. In some areas there are also town trails and guided walks, exhibitions and talks.

A detailed programme of the sites across Wales participating in this event is available from the Civic Trust for Wales.
