“Doors Open Days festival is an exciting opportunity to discover more about the places and stories on our doorstep. The Scottish Borders has a rich and varied heritage, so it is great to be able to showcase this as a region.
“Organisers have ensured there is an event for everyone so I would encourage anyone who can, to go along and support a fantastic festival. For those unable to visit in person, there is also the chance to go online and discover more from the comfort of your home.”
This year the festival has a particular focus on the region’s unique textile heritage, including your chance to take part in a textile workshop at ReTweed in Eyemouth.
