Year-Round Shows
THE COURT HOUSE
Welcome to Open House
Open House is a small, independent charitable organisation which believes music, art, culture and festival events are the regenerative force that will transform Bangor from its seafront dereliction and failed retail sector into a modern, progressive seaside town.
Tickets are on sale now for The Court House – our newly restored live music and arts venue on Bangor Seafront.
We also have some events in Belfast including Hugh Cornwell and Martin Simpson.
This year’s Open House Festival is now over. We had a series of live events in Bangor Castle Walled Garden, Free Music in Ward Park and Seaside Revival – our free vintage festival within a festival plus some beautiful food events in restaurants around the city. Folk on a Boat and Island Picnic also made a return.
We finished off the month of August with a sold out Snow Patrol Acoustic show on Bangor Seafront.
