Dorset Architectural Heritage Week

Directions Website Contact the organisation

Dorset Architectural Heritage Week DAHW is an annual event offering free visits, tours, open houses & talks in Dorset every September. Office open for enquiries March to October annually

Dorset Architectural Heritage Week is an annual event which aims to stimulate public awareness of Dorset's rich architectural and cultural heritage by allowing free access to many properties that are normally closed to the public or charge for entry. The first half of the week is part of the national Heritage Open Days but Dorset contains such a wealth of fascinating architecture that the events continue in the County for a further four days! The week-long event is organised by East Dorset Heritage Trust and very kindly supported through the generosity of the Institute of Commercial Management.
