Eating & Drinking

Bangor town centre is home to dozens of authentic pubs, restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy regular free music sessions and programmed Festival events, while mixing with the locals. Our micro-climate has created an area of outstanding farming and artisan food production, from cheeses and cured meats to beers and gins, available in many local hostelries.

Venues & Accessibility

Here at Open House we’re committed to providing a Festival that’s accessible to all. Our team works hard to deliver a programme and services that respect the dignity and independence of people with disabilities, and that allows everyone an equal opportunity to be part of the Festival.

Nearly all our venues are fully accessible to wheelchair users, including Ward Park, the Walled Garden and the Court House. Our staff and volunteers are trained in supporting people with disabilities of all kinds, whether visible or hidden. They will help in any way they can to make your experience a positive and memorable one.
