About This Event
Heritage Open Days takes place at Gibside in Newcastle on 11 September 2026. The event provides free entry and access to parts of the site usually closed to the public.
Celebrate Heritage Open Days with a long weekend of free entry and a rare chance to explore parts of Gibside that are usually closed to the public.
Across all three days, the chapel crypt will be open for visitors to step inside one of the estate’s most intriguing historic spaces.
On Friday, there’ll be extra activities to bring the past to life, from traditional demonstrations to hands‑on moments like apple pressing.
On Saturday and Sunday, The Landmark Trust will open the doors of the Banqueting House for special tours*. This elegant Georgian building is normally off‑limits, making it a real treat for anyone interested in architecture and history.
Some of you will be drawn to historic corners or hiking through nature to spot early roosting red kites. Others will be here for a relaxed day out with your children, letting little ones run off steam in one of Gibside's play spaces. However the day unfolds, the weekend offers space to explore at your own pace and enjoy Gibside in a way that feels easy and unhurried.
*tours must be booked via the Landmark Trust.
