Open Weekend 2025

Every tree has a tale. Every landscape holds a legend. Every moment spent in nature is a story waiting to be told. Explore the powerful connection between storytelling and the natural world. From ancient folklore and myth to personal reflections and artistic expressions, stories shape the way we experience nature—and nature, in turn, fuels our imagination and creativity.

Discover the richness of Buckinghamshire culture over one long weekend, as organisations across the county welcome you with free and low-cost, family-friendly summer activities including music, theatre, online events, heritage experiences, tours, trails, outdoor fun, and arts & crafts workshops.

Open Weekend involves arts, heritage, sports and environmental organisations working together to share and celebrate creativity and culture in Buckinghamshire. The event is Coordinated by Buckinghamshire Culture, delivered by venues and organisations across the county.

Open Weekend is made possible thanks to investment from the Rothschild Foundation and Buckinghamshire Council, whose support helps celebrate and connect communities through culture.
