Open Doors

Open Doors is an arts programme delivering free, creative activities across Newark and Sherwood.

Our projects encourage people of all ages and abilities to have fun, connect with their community, and experience something new. Funded by Arts Council England and delivered by Newark and Sherwood District Council, you’ll find our team running activities in museums, libraries, schools, theatres, and other venues across the district.
