Heritage Open Day: Banners for Berwick

Events

The Burr of Berwick Film Library

20 September 2025

What kind of banner will you create for Berwick?

Banners have been a significant part of protests throughout history. They offer a creative representation of places, groups and causes. With eye-catching designs, banners decorate the space above a crowd of people, expressing the solidarity of those who carry them.

Explore the current Film Library exhibition and respond to the images, ideas and interviews. Take inspiration from the rich local history of Miners’ strikes, women’s support groups and anti-nuclear activism to create a banner that expresses the beating heart of Berwick.

Creatively reflect on local history and bring the heritage of community spirit into conversation with the present.

This family friendly drop-in workshop is free and open to all.
