The Storehouse

The Storehouse sits right on Berwick-upon-Tweed's doorstep, a converted warehouse space that takes art and craft seriously without the stuffiness. It's a proper working gallery - you'll find contemporary pieces alongside local makers' work, and the building itself has that appealing industrial feel that comes with actual age rather than design fakery.

What you're doing here is wandering through rotating exhibitions, poking around studios where artists are sometimes actually working, and having a proper look at what's being made in this corner of Northumberland. It's not huge - reckon on an hour if you're genuinely interested, less if you're just killing time between lunch and the beach.

This works best for anyone who's bothered about contemporary art without needing it explained to death, and for craft enthusiasts keen to see what local makers are up to. If your lot thinks galleries are boring, this one at least has the advantage of being intimate enough that nobody's dragging their feet past acres of white walls.

Given it's practically walking distance from Haven Berwick Holiday Centre and Berwick Seaview, it's an obvious pop-in when you're camped nearby. Pair it with a walk along the Tweed or a wander around Berwick itself - there's more than enough town to explore without needing to venture far. The real benefit is that it keeps you occupied on the inevitable Scottish drizzle day when the beach isn't calling.
