Unlock the Power of Heritage
Organised by the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, the Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival is an annual event celebrating the city’s architecture, culture, and heritage. Each September, we open the doors to over 100 historic buildings, including theatres, museums, factories, studios and more – all for free. Young or old, born and bred, or fresh to the city, the festival brings people together through walks, talks, tours, and special events to celebrate and explore Glasgow’s unique cultural and architectural heritage. GDODF is run by a small but passionate team of staff members and dedicated volunteers, which means we rely on your support to help us keep doors open for all.
With over 30,000 visits annually, the festival is a much-loved staple of Glasgow’s cultural calendar and brings an estimated £400,000 of economic benefit to the city. You can help support the festival in many ways – from annual sponsorship to donations to volunteer opportunities for staff.
