Tickets Alert: Tours of UK construction sites in March
The annual event, which showcases the construction industry by letting people go behind the hoardings onto building sites, returns in March, and booking is open now.
The event, Open Doors 2025, showcases the construction industry and was set up to show how varied and exciting a career in the trade can be. Open Doors aims to change perceptions around construction and encourage the next generation to explore the wide range of opportunities available across the sector.
Bookings for Open Doors 2025 are now live, with visits set to take place between Monday 17th and Saturday 22nd March 2025.
Check attendance requirements for an event before booking, as some have limitations regarding who can attend—such as school groups only, etc. The map search has a filter option to “public only” to save you some time when looking.
Schools and colleges are particularly encouraged to book a visit and open the eyes of their students to the careers available in their local community. However, the curious public are still welcome to visit.
Tours range from looking at a building site from a viewing area to full site tours, and most will include talks about careers in construction and how to get into the trade.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
