European Heritage Open Days

2026 Theme "Heritage at Risk - Revive - Resist - Reimagine"

This year's theme encourages visitors to reflect on the importance of protecting and celebrating our heritage.  It provides an opportunity to connect with the places, traditions and stories that define Mid Ulster.

Several of Mid Ulster’s historic sites, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems will be open to the public for free and offer something for visitor's of all ages. There’s never been a better time to visit Mid Ulster and ensure its heritage continues to be valued, protected and enjoyed for generations to come!
