Come and have a peek behind the scenes of Lewis Hetherington’s The Visitors. Discover the original designs, costumes, props and stunning portrait photography of the young people from Berwick, as well as an exclusive film and soundscape of local voices, sharing their connection to the sea and the water.
Whether you saw The Visitors as they explored Berwick, waved them goodbye on Spittal beach, or if they are still a mystery to you, this exhibition offers a carefully crafted inside view into the makings of a joyful performance artwork, shaped by the Berwick community.
Entry is FREE. No booking required.
