HODs Visitor - September 2024

“It was so lovely to go on a family day out to Berwick today and come across the open buildings. 3 generations of our family thoroughly enjoyed finding and exploring all the places. Well done and thank you to everyone - what a lot of friendly, knowledgeable people were involved.”

HODs Visitor - 2024

“Went to Berwick today just for a wander round the walls, not knowing the heritage open days were on, what a brilliant added bonus to a lovely day out. Everybody was very friendly & informative & I had no idea half those things existed.
Really enjoyed it today, thanks to everyone for taking the time to put this on.”

What is there to see?

Berwick-upon-Tweed has such a rich history and our Heritage Open Days (HODs) events show this off to the full!

During our events we offer everything from online talks to graveyard walks. We also offer you the chance to take a look at buildings and sites often closed to the public.

During our 2024 event, we held 93 events in 10 days! Take a look at our programme to whet your appetite for next year.
