Without the participation of our incredible volunteers, Open House would not be possible. Every year, over 200 volunteers help us to steward events, host tours, assist with administration and ensure the smooth running of our programme. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and levels of experience. Whether you are available to volunteer for just a few hours or multiple days, your participation is deeply valued.

We want to make sure as many people as possible can be a part of Open House Dublin, so if you have any accessibility needs or requirements, please let us know in the registration form, by phone (+353 1 874 7200) or email, and we will be sure to find a place for you in the festival. We look forward to welcoming you to the OHD25 team!

As a festival volunteer, you’ll enjoy priority entry to sites, exclusive online training with the National Gallery of Ireland, and specialised tour guide training if you choose to lead tours. You’ll gain references and CPD points for architects, develop skills in teamwork, communication, and leadership, and meet like-minded people while exploring Dublin through a fresh, creative lens. Plus, celebrate your contributions at our dedicated volunteer party and dive into exciting opportunities to discover art and architecture like never before. You will also be eligible to take part in Open House Europe’s Volunteer Exchange programme in partner cities across Europe.
