Denbigh Infirmary opened its doors in 1807, initially as a dispensary, located in a building on Brook Lane (Factory Place). This was the first of its kind in North Wales and possibly the whole of Wales. By 1811, land had been acquired and a news hospital built known as the Denbighshire General Dispensary and Asylum for the Recovery of Health. Over the years several extensions were added which provided additional beds, a laundry and accommodation for fever patients. In 1957, a new nurses’ home and chapel were opened. Open Doors provides a unique opportunity for visitors to learn more about this historic hospital.

The 2024 Denbigh Open Doors Weekend launches Friday 20th September 2024 with a geology evening lecture at the Theatr Twm o'r Nant. Over the following two days, Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd September 2024 from 10am to 5pm, around thirty historically important sites in the locale will be open to the public, supplemented by children’s workshops and guided tours. A booking service for the sites/workshops and guided tours offering a limited number of places will be available through Denbigh Library, closer to the start of the weekend.
