European Heritage Open Days

From 13 - 14 September properties across Mid Ulster will open their doors for FREE as part of European Heritage Open Days (EHOD) 2025, an annual celebration of local architecture, history and culture.

The 2025 theme “Architectural Heritage - Past Structure - Future Connections,” will engage both visitors and event organisers with the history, design, and cultural significance of Northern Irelands's architectural landmarks.

Several of Mid Ulster’s historic sites, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems will be open to the public, for free and offer a range of events highlighting this year’s theme. There’s never been a better time to visit Mid Ulster!
