Exhibitions and Talks

The various museums, theatres, galleries and information centres in Northumberland are hosts to intriguing talks and fascinating exhibitions. Open your mind to some interesting historical facts, learn some new artistic skills or discover more about the rich heritage of Northumberland. Historians hold regular talks and discussions at local history societies and venues such as Bailiffgate Museum.  

Artists and photographers hold events to share their experiences and techniques with visitors and locals at various workshops throughout the county. When you take a visit to our castles and historic sites you’ll be sure to find regular exhibitions and demonstrations from professionals and staff who are more than helpful to share their knowledge and experiences. Be sure to join a talk and learn the secrets behind the gardens of Northumberland from the professional gardeners who keep them in pristine condition.  

The county of Northumberland holds exhibitions throughout the year in its various museums and galleries. Ranging from the Pitmen Painters in Woodhorn Museums and County Archives, and local artist displays at the Alnwick Playhouse and Berwick Maltings, to Stella McCartney’s Lucky Spot at Belsay Hall, and the outdoor sculptures at Kielder Water and Forest Park.
