It’s a great chance to explore hidden gems and fascinating venues. You’ll learn so much about the history and heritage of Renfrewshire.
Our towns and villages always have lots of participating venues. It might be a building near your home. Somewhere you’ve driven past and always wondered what it looks like inside.
This weekend is always one of our local favourites. A chance to get inside private or hidden spaces. In the past, visitors have had the chance to climb church towers, delve into hidden underground drains, and take part in heritage skills workshops.
Each year is different, and the buildings taking part each put on their own activities as part of the celebrations. Doors Open Days is coordinated nationally by the Scottish Civic Trust and is part of European Heritage Days alongside Scottish Archaeology Month, coordinated by Archaeology Scotland. Both are supported by Historic Environment Scotland. This year’s shared European Heritage Days theme is Living Heritage.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
