open days

Public viewing events

Open days are events when institutions—typically schools, universities, or businesses—invite the public to visit and look around.

Prospective students attend university open days to tour facilities, meet staff, and get a feel for campus life: We're going to the open day at Oxford next weekend.

The term is primarily British; Americans more often say "open house."
