Open House

The Open House programme creates a safe space and opportunities for people to come together, volunteer their time and improve their wellbeing through social activities including heritage and creativity. Weekly activities offer friendship, hospitality and participation in the arts in the town centre, whilst connecting to creative placemaking activities and events.

Based on the ground floor of Dundas House (Navigator North’s HQ since 2011) inside Dundas Shopping Centre, our volunteer supported, ‘Open House’ space is open every Saturday between 10.30am and 4pm. It’s a space to take a break, chat with others and take part in activities.

Each week there will be opportunities to find out more about the broader programme, get involved in activities and help us shape what the space becomes.

Current funding runs to March 2026 and builds on the Make It More Middlesbrough programme here.

With support from Historic England and National Lottery Heritage Fund with Know Your Neighbourhood funding.
