Open Weekends 2026 are here – triple the weekends, triple the creativity! Celebrate our sixth year with three vibrant Bucks-wide weekends packed full of activities to try out and get involved in.
Are you a creative business, cultural organisation or artist looking to reach new audiences, test fresh ideas, and connect with like-minded organisations? Open Weekend is your opportunity to showcase your work, engage with communities, and grow your presence across Buckinghamshire.
Every Summer thousands of people visit new places and take part in free or low-cost arts activities as part of an annual weekend celebration in Buckinghamshire. This is an opportunity for people of all ages to try something new and experience the amazing variety of culture, arts, heritage and beautiful green spaces available year-round across the county.
This year we’re spreading the creativity across three Open Weekends! Join us on 14–16 August, 21–23 August, and 28–30 August 2026 for a county‑wide celebration filled with inspiring activities.
See our ‘Get Involved’ page for more information about becoming a contributor and the important dates for your diaries.
This year we are partnering with The Bucks Guide, our Communications Sponsor for Open Weekends 2026. All events will be listed on their website.
