The Open House Festival returns to Collins Barracks for a two‑day glimpse of Dublin’s historic military complex. On Saturday 17 October a guided architectural tour begins at 13:00, offering insight into the site’s design and history. Sunday 18 October the programme shifts to a informal drop‑in chat with the exhibition curators from 14:00 to 14:45, giving visitors a chance to ask questions and learn about the themes behind the festival.
Both events are free and operate on a drop‑in basis, though space is limited and will be allocated on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Children are welcome but must be supervised at all times.
