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 taking place over one week in September.

Organised by Glasgow Building Preservation Trust,  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. The Glasgow event was the first Doors Open Day in the UK as part of the 1990 European Capital of Culture festival, along with Ayrshire.

Since 1990, Glasgow Doors Open Days has expanded from a one day event into a week long festival, encompassing a wide range of activities and events, thanks to the longstanding support from Glasgow City Council. A summary of the 30th anniversary festival highlights in 2019:


 * 124 participating buildings
 * 55 walks and tours
 * 55 further events
 * 76,038 individual visits by adults (18,104 visitors)
