Glasgow has a very special way of celebrating its architectural heritage: every year during the third week in September, the city throws open the doors to its buildings and its parks and invites visitors to discover the secrets of the city with the help of qualified guides and experts, and all for free. There are walking tours, talks, seminars and the chance to visit heritage buildings not usually accessible to the public. The event is organised each year by the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust and has been running since 1990.
Some of the highlights of the event include free tours of Tennents Brewery, bus tours to Easterhouse and Castlemilk, 'Open Gates' at allotments around Glasgow and guided walks of places of interest such as Tollcross Park, Kining Park, The Jacobites, Kelvingrove and many more. Book ahead to avoid disappointment as places are limited for many of the visits. There is a wealth of information about Glasgow Doors Open Day on the website of the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust – www.glasgowdoorsopenday.com.
