Baltic Heritage Open Days 2025
Celebrate history and culture with our tours where you can discover more about our building and its history, as well as our local Quayside.
Heritage Open Days is an annual event every September, where some 40,000 volunteers across England organise 5,000 events to celebrate the country's history and culture. This year, Baltic is providing tours where you can discover more about the building and its history, as well as the local Quayside. All tours are free, and will last approximately 45 minutes.
Baltic Crew are happy to answer questions throughout the tours, and there’ll be the opportunity to take photos along the way.
