The 30th edition of the much-loved city-wide celebration of architecture and landscape, will be extended once again, running from 4th to the 12th September 2021.
The festival will begin on the weekend of the 4th and 5th of September 2021, extending through the working week and ending on the weekend of the 11th and 12th September 2021.
The new extended programme will cover the whole of London for 9 days of activity including in-person tours, film screenings and family activities.
The festival will see hundreds of buildings across the capital open their doors to the public for carefully-managed visits and tours, alongside a city-wide programme for all ages and abilities including online and outdoor events.
The celebration will be the first in a year of programmes marking the 30th anniversary of Open City, a charity dedicated to making London and other cities more open, equitable and accessible.
The festival, which in a typical year sees 250,000 people visit over 800 buildings across all participating boroughs, will strengthen London’s cultural and economic recovery and is timed to coincide with the final stages of the government’s vaccination programme.
The 2021 Open House Festival will take place between 4th and 12th of September, full listings for the festival will go live on the Open House Festival website in August.
