OPEN TODAY !!!!! From 1st Sept -1st Nov 2026.
"Streets to Sea",
A stunning exhibition by artist Kev Oldham, with almost unimagineable clarity of images, created by his advanced painting technique, Kev tells us that he finds inspiration from the things he sees around him, from atmospheric seascapes to sunlit buildings, to create a “frozen moment in time”.

“Who remembers Topsy and Tim?”
📚 Did you know that Topsy and Tim have an Alnwick connection?
The much-loved children's characters were “born” in Alnwick in 1960.
For generations of children, their books were part of growing up – but how many of you remember reading them in the 1960s?
Were Topsy and Tim part of your childhood bookshelf? ❤️

Visit our 1950'sand 1960s exhibition on until 30th August!
