Doors Open Day

Bristol Doors Open Day is your chance to see for free inside some of Bristol’s most fascinating architecturally and historically important buildings, many of which are not normally open to the general public.

Brochures giving details of all the participating venues will be available at local libraries, the Tourist Information Centres, the Architecture Centre on Narrow Quay; and at many of the participating venues.

For a few venues you will need to pre-book to go around. Others offer tours with no pre-booking. The event is free.
