EHOD 2022
During September the Department for Communities coordinates over 250 sites and properties to open their doors to the public and offer a wide range of online events on top of the actual outdoor events.
EHOD is a once-a-year opportunity for curious families, architect lovers and heritage enthusiasts to explore buildings and exclusive sites rarely open to the public.
Each EHOD celebrates a shared theme throughout Europe. EHOD 2022 theme will be raising awareness of sustainable heritage.
Sustainable Heritage is a landmark opportunity for event participants and venue owners ‘openers’ to focus their events, talks and workshops around the part they play in making historical sites and tourist venues more environmentally friendly.
The theme also invites openers to share how built and natural heritage contributes to a more sustainable future.
Natural surroundings across Northern Ireland will also have an opportunity to show-off its hidden wonders, from small urban green spaces and gardens, to expansive rural countryside, woodlands, waterways, and geological features all expected to take part.
