Open House Dublin

Open House Dublin is a free festival of architecture with 100+ guided tours, films, exhibitions and events taking place across the city from 14-16 October. Brought to you by the Irish Architecture Foundation, Open House Dublin celebrates great architecture, urban design and the people that contribute to the creation of built Dublin.

Open House Dublin is part of the Open House Worldwide international network of 50 organisations hosting festivals and conversations about architecture, design and cities across the globe from Lagos to Taipei, and New York to Santiago. We are uniquely positioned to take the lead on public engagement, discourse and debate in architecture and city-making in Dublin.

This year we return to more in person tours and events alongside a rich programme of talks, workshops, exhibitions and films. We have a junior programme for young people and families and have worked to improve the accessibility of our events. Join us for expertly guided tours of buildings old and new, an outdoor programme of walking, boating and cycling tours and outdoor drop in film screenings at Meeting House Square in Temple Bar.
