This September many of Cardiff’s historical and important buildings will open their doors to celebrate Wales’ history.
Open Doors is organised by the Civic Trust of Wales and begins on September 2 with events taking place across the whole of Wales.
Open Doors is Wales’ biggest celebration of architecture and heritage and for the month of September a host of events will give people the opportunity to explore buildings, take part in walks, talks, visit historical sites and view exhibitions.
Cardiff Council will show their support for the scheme by holding a number of special events in Council buildings and attractions within the capital city.
Council venues taking part range from historical buildings, including Cardiff Castle, The Mansion House, Insole Court, to new attractions including the recently opened Cardiff Story Museum.
Local Friends Groups and organisations in the city will also take part in Open Doors.
In Cardiff a whole host of talks and tours, walks and lectures will take place and further details can be found at www.opendoorsdays.org.uk
Executive Member for Sport, Culture and Leisure, Cllr Nigel Howells, said: “Open Doors celebrates heritage and there is certainly a lot to celebrate in Cardiff. The city is home to many historical buildings and the city is steeped in history.
“I am delighted that Council-owned buildings and venues have organised some great events that the whole family can enjoy. It’s also the perfect time for people to vist the newly opened Cardiff Story Museum and find out more about the history of Cardiff.”
