Online contributor surgeries

If you’re one of the individuals, groups, collectives or organisations planning to open up a building or run an event during the festival, then you are an Open House Festival contributor. Thank you! The festival would not be possible without you.

From April to June, we will hold a series of online surgeries to support you with planning and running your festival open days and events. Please check the schedule and register to attend using the form below. The surgeries will be held on Zoom and the link will be shared with everyone who’s registered to attend in advance of the session.

In addition to the surgeries, we have written guidance on completing your expression of interest (if this is your first festival) and application forms, and on planning and running your open day or event.
