Brisbane Open House  – July 13 + 14  2024


Brisbane Open House 2024 ran on 13 + 14 July

We were delighted to present the following focus during this year’s weekend.

  • Our program was be geo-focused. This means that, predominantly, our program was focused in inner-Brisbane. This was to provide audiences with easy access to as many Open House buildings as possible. See our 2024 Buildings here
  • We also integrated our wonderful Villages of Brisbane into our weekend program and we were delighted to have New Farm as our 2024 VOB. We worked closely with the New Farm & Districts Historical Society, who celebrated their 30th anniversary this year. 
  • There were be two key hubs in the program: Thomas Dixon Centre – Queensland Ballet in West End and Brisbane Powerhouse – New Farm
  • On Sunday, 14 July, we hosted a full-day Speaker Series at the Brisbane Powerhouse.
  • There was be a range of Tours + Talks running throughout the weekend.
  • There were a number of free guided walks across the weekend.
  • There were also Workshops + Activities + more in various locations.

We were thrilled to welcome everybody to an exceptional weekend and look forward to welcoming you in 2025 – details to be announced soon.
