Stonemasonry Demonstrations on Site with The Living Barracks
Berwick Barracks, Parade, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1DF
A rare opportunity to see first hand the skilled conservation work being carried out to preserve this important building for future generations. There will be an opportunity to have hands-on experience with some of the techniques.
This is a drop-in event on site and our stone mason will be available to talk throughout the day about the work going on and to demonstrate the stone work restoration that is happening on site.
The Living Barracks Project is a partnership between English Heritage, The Maltings (Berwick) Trust, Kings Own Scottish Borderers, Northumberland County Council and BBHT. It is breathing new life into Berwick’s historic Barracks, restoring their place at the heart of the town’s cultural and community life. Ahead of the site’s full reopening in 2028, an inspiring programme of art, heritage and community projects is already unfolding - created with and for the people of Berwick, thanks to the generous support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the UK Government’s Cultural Development Fund. Together, we’re rediscovering what the Barracks have been, will be and could become.
