The majority of venues in the festival this year belong to one of 13 Open House Trails, which cover different areas of the city and beyond. Most Trails are geographically grouped and houses are usually within walking distance of each other. Entry is always free. This year's Trails feature 221 Open Houses together with 36 independent venues.

Artists are producing engaging, creative and, sometimes, challenging work for the public to see. The AOH offers the opportunity for the public to buy artwork directly from the maker. Many visitors buy their first piece of original artwork at an Open House and return again year after year. Click on the links below to view individual Trails and houses.
