Doors Open Days Aberdeenshire 2025

Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st September 2025

This is an annual event celebrating the wealth of architecture, culture and heritage across the shire.

For the event we have brought together over 50 venues and their volunteers who have kindly agreed to open the doors of lighthouses, castles, museums, railways and many more across Aberdeenshire, to the public, for free. With so much to choose from there is something for everyone - what better excuse to explore Aberdeenshire.
