Gloucester Heritage Open Days 2026

Join us for a FREE citywide celebration of Gloucester's amazing history, culture and architecture. Explore historic buildings which are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission. Enjoy exclusive tours, guided walks and talks not available at other times of year. Watch talented local musicians and performers, ranging from 19th Century Gloucestershire folk songs to Indian classical dance.
Our city is among the top three venues in the country for its huge range of Heritage Open Days activities in the city centre, Gloucester Docks and suburbs. So whether you're visiting from elsewhere or think you know Gloucester inside out, there are plenty of historical treasures to uncover!
All events are free and most do not require booking. Find out more and see the full events programme at: https://www.gloucestercivictrust.org/heritage-open-days/
