The Visitors is an upcoming outdoor public artwork by Lewis Hetherington, taking place in Berwick town centre on Saturday 30 May, and on Spittal Promenade on Sunday 31 May.
Curious about The Visitors? Come along to one of our friendly, informal information sessions this May and be part of something special.
These sessions are a chance to find out more about the project – how the commission came about, what’s inspired Lewis Hetherington’s creative vision, and what you can expect from this exciting new work.
You’ll also hear how you can get involved. Whether you’re interested in performing, helping to create costumes, or supporting the project by spreading the word, there are lots of ways to take part.
No previous experience needed. All children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the session.
Come along, meet the team, ask questions, and discover how you can get involved in The Visitors.
Everyone is welcome.
Maltings at Hide Hill is a new Cultural Resource Hub made possible by funding from Create Berwick, the Culture and Creative Zone (CCZ) funded by the North East Combined Authority and Northumberland County Council to support the growth of the cultural and creative industries in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The Living Barracks Project aims to restore and renew the historic Berwick Barracks site’s pivotal role as a central part of the town’s social and cultural life.
During the renovation, an art-led public engagement programme named Berwick Shines, led by the Maltings (Berwick) Trust, invites artists to explore and respond to the extensive heritage collections of the Barracks, the town, and what Berwick and its barracks has been, will be and could become, in partnership with the people of Berwick.
The Living Barracks Project is an exciting collaboration between Berwick Barracks Heritage Trust (BBHT), English Heritage, The King’s Own Scottish Borderers Association (KOSB), Maltings (Berwick) Trust and Northumberland County Council and proudly supported by The Arts Council England’s Cultural Development Fund (CDF), The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Northumberland County Council and other generous supporters.
The Cultural Development Fund is a Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) fund administered by Arts Council England.
