open house

All visitors welcome

An open house is a period when visitors can come freely without appointments.

Schools hold open houses for parents, real estate agents for prospective buyers: We're having an open house this Sunday from noon to four.

More broadly, open house describes informal hospitality: Their place was always open house for musicians passing through town.
