2025 Friends Events Programme
The Open House Festival and our educational programmes would not be possible without the support of Open City Friends. As a thank you, we organise a programme of events, tours and workshops every year. See what’s coming up below. Note events titled ‘walking tour’ are for Core (£12) and Keystone (£25) Friends only.
