European Heritage Open Days will take place 13 and 14 September 2025.

Each year EHD’s across Europe celebrate a shared theme and for 2025 the theme is “Architectural Heritage – Past structures – Future Connections”

EHOD 2025’s theme, “Architectural Heritage- Past Structures -Future Connections,” will engage both visitors and event organisers with the history, design, and cultural significance of Northern Ireland’s architectural landmarks.

Architectural heritage isn’t just about the structures of the past—it’s about the people, stories, and connections they continue to inspire. Through ‘Past Structures, Future Connections,’ we celebrate how these spaces shape our communities and connect us across generations.

If there is a local character or connection to a local figure of note you would like to celebrate, a historic area you want to see recognised or simply want to tell the story of your home, workplace, or community we would love you to take part.

EHOD offers you the opportunity to showcase the stories and places you care about. We don’t define “heritage” – that is up to you!
