REMINDER:
If you have visited Open House between Sept. 1st ‘25 and Sept. 30th ‘26, please pick up your Christmas Party invites! We MUST HAVE REPLIES BY THE 30th of this month, and posting them is now way too expensive!

07/11/2026

Good news: Open Fridge Shaftesbury is now also open every Tuesday evening from 5 PM to 6 PM!

02/11/2026

Good morning, everyone! Please note that the Citizens Advice Energy Adviser will now be at Open House from 10AM to 11:30AM every 2nd Tuesday of the month!

26/10/2026

Oh my, it’s that time of year again! The Open House Christmas Party will take place on Friday, the 18th of December, and invitations for those who have visited us/used our services during the past 12 months will be available for pick up from tomorrow, Tuesday 27th onward.

We would appreciate it if as many of you could pop in to pick up your invitations as possible, as having to post them gets incredibly expensive!

As always, spaces will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so please confirm your desire to attend as quickly as possible! We will, of course, also keep a ‘back up list’ in case of cancellations.

06/10/2026

Please note: the Thursday Open Fridge session has now been moved to run from 5 PM to 6 PM!

30/09/2026

Good news, folks: due to the high popularity of the Thursday evening session at the Open Fridge, it has been decided to keep it going subject to volunteer availability.

As the nights draw in, we may, however, move the session up an hour - meaning it will run from 5 PM until 6 PM. We will confirm this as soon as the change is made, so watch this space!

Finally, a huge thank you to all the generous individuals and local businesses who all helped to make our Harvest Craft Fair such a great success!

24/09/2026

A little late, but nonetheless from the bottom of our hearts:

Thank you so very much to everyone involved - Howard, for organising it all, all the volunteers who helped set it up, run it, and clean up after, all the stallholders, and, of course, everyone who came, saw, and conquered many purchases - for making Friends of Open House's first craft fair/market such a huge success!

Early Warning: As the event was thoroughly enjoyed by all, we will hold another one on the 5th of December (and we already have booked out on the tables!) - so mark your calendar, hold on to your cash, and get ready to join us for some pre-Christmas fun!

19/09/2026

We’re up and going… come and join us!
