We’re a music and arts festival that takes place each summer in venues throughout the seaside city of Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland, and includes our Seaside Revival Vintage Festival on Bangor seafront. We also run a year round arts programme in the Court House, our new permanent home and live venue, and one-off shows in Belfast all year round. As an independent non-profit charity we reinvest any surplus from these events back into our community projects, to help regenerate our beautiful seaside city of Bangor.
We organise concerts and events all year round in both Belfast & Bangor. We’re a not-for-profit, so any surplus income from these shows is re-invested into other Open House projects.
We are delighted to welcome Waterstones Bangor as our official festival bookseller for 2025. They are offering Open House Festival ticketholders an exclusive 10% discount on all the books that feature in this year’s literary lineup. You must present a valid ticket for any Open House Festival event between 1st and 31st August 2025 at the point of purchase. Waterstones staff will also be on hand to sell books at our author events where the same discount will apply. This discount only applies to Waterstones Bangor and runs from 6th June to 31st August. Look out for their special in-store Open House Festival promotional display at the Bloomfield shopping centre store throughout the summer.
