Open House Festival Bangor is celebrating its 10th anniversary this summer with a programme of events at Bangor Castle Walled Garden during August, plus a series of free events in the city throughout July and August.
It was established in Belfast in 1999 and moved to Bangor in 2013 and been organically grown and tenderly looked after by two local people, Kieran Gilmore and Alison Gordon, who are still at the helm.
At the heart of Open House is an eclectic programme of lovingly curated bespoke events, including folk on a boat, an island picnic trip, pop-up food events, local interest talks and tours alongside a run of shows in including music, comedy and film, plus free concerts at the bandstand in Ward Park every Sunday.
