New Wave is a training and development programme taking a small cohort of Heritage Open Days (HODs) organisers and coordinators through a structured programme focused around working with young adults to develop new, innovative HODs events.
Berwick Heritage Open Days is participating in this national programme in 2022 and our group of youngsters are busy preparing for an in person event entitled 'Crime Unlocked' in which they will reveal some of the crimes that took place in the 18th and 19th centuries and the justice that was meted out.
Attendees to these events, to be held in the Town Hall on Friday 16th and Sunday 18th September, will be judge and jury on historic criminal cases and experience life in an early 19th century jail.
