Edinburgh Doors Open Day is your chance to explore some of Edinburgh’s architecturally and culturally significant buildings – all for free. From heritage landmarks to the city’s newest architecture, Doors Open Day offers free access to properties that are either not usually open to the public or would normally charge an entry fee. The event also offers the public an opportunity to find out more about the capital’s public buildings.
Have a flick through the brochures (below) and plan your day – you’ll be enthralled!
See St Columba’s tomorrow on Doors Open Day
St Columba’s Hospice is pleased to be taking part in Doors Open Day Edinburgh on Saturday 24th September …
For one day only, buildings across Edinburgh with a fascinating story to tell will be open to the public, so come and join us to see what goes on at St Columba’s Hospice. Our doors will be open from 11am – 4pm.
We’ll be opening our doors to the general public, giving you a chance to meet our staff and volunteers who will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about the Hospice, palliative care, the services we provide and there’s even an opportunity to meet our therapets.
As part of Doors Open Day at St Columba’s Hospice, you can:
- visit our Day Hospice which is where patients spend one day a week for peer support, nurse-led clinics, appointments with complementary therapists and other health and social care staff
- spend time in our Information Hub which is part of the original Challenger Lodge building
- view the original Challenger Lodge building and rooms which are not normally open to the public, which have stunning views over the Firth of Forth
- tour the Centre for Education & Research where you can visit our lecture and seminar rooms
- admire a scale model of the Hospice
- find out about the impact our care has had across Edinburgh and the Lothians
- visit historical areas of the building and artefacts which have been incorporated into our buildings such as the railings outside the Centre for Education & Research
- have lunch and refreshments in the Iona Café
- Spend time in our gardens (if the weather allows!), home to our Tribute Garden which is part of our Tribute Fund initiative.
On Doors Open Day, you will be able to learn about the Hospice, the services we provide and the architecture of our building – both the historical Challenger Lodge and also the multi-million pound newly built extension.
Guided tours will be offered by our team of volunteers throughout the day.
