Doors Open Day - Aberdeen

Doors Open Day returns to Aberdeen, offering residents and visitors a unique opportunity to explore the city’s architecture, culture and creativity. As part of Scotland’s national celebration of built heritage, the event invites the public to step inside buildings, spaces and institutions that are not always accessible throughout the year.

With over 50 venues participating, this year’s programme features an exciting mix of historic landmarks, contemporary architecture, cultural venues and community spaces. Visitors can enjoy access to churches, mosques, the city’s synagogue, heritage centres, workshops, arts studios and civic buildings - many of which will provide guided tours, demonstrations, exhibitions and family‑friendly activities.

Doors Open Day Aberdeen showcases the stories, craftsmanship and communities that shape the city. From hidden architectural gems to vibrant cultural hubs, the weekend offers a festival‑style experience encouraging people to discover Aberdeen from new perspectives.
