Open Weekend

The London 2012 Cultural Olympiad is to be launched with a national Open Weekend over 26-28 September. The aim of the Open Weekend is to open up opportunities for people across the UK to visit places or to get involved in imaginative thought-provoking, creative activities they may not have done before. 
 
Cultural, community and sports organisations and groups are being encouraged to do something unusual or open up different spaces. So whether you can offer free tickets, workshops, behind the scenes tours, or open rehearsals, you could be part of the celebrations to launch the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
