TAKE A PIECE OF NORTHUMBERLAND HOME
🎨Original paintings and drawings by Amble Artist, Kev Oldham

Streets to Sea brings together three years of Kev's photographic- realism paintings, capturing familiar Northumberland places as atmospheric, meticulously painted "frozen moments in time."

Come and see the exhibition and see if you recognise any of the places which feature in the exhibition. We think they would look great on your wall!!

LOST AND ENDANGERED CRAFTS - COMING SOON!!
3rd Nov- 13th Dec 2026. 12th-31st Jan 2027

Bailiffgate is delighted to present this combined Museum and Makers Exhibition of Lost, Endangered and Heritage Crafts.

The Heritage Crafts Association lists Extinct, Critically Endangered and Endangered Heritage Crafts in the UK and this exhibition will bring together items from the Museum Archives with pieces made by local makers and artisans for a fascinating exploration and display of heritage crafts with a strong local presence.

This exhibition seeks to honour and highlight the value of Heritage Crafts to our local cultures and communities today. By contrasting extinct and endangered crafts, some represented in our Museum Archives, with a resurgence in the popularity and respect for Heritage Crafts today, we will tell the stories of lost crafts and the specialised skills of contemporary local artisans championing local skills that reflect our rich history and heritage.

Find out more about the makers-

More details to follow soon about demo days and workshops!!

STREETS TO SEA
"I find inspiration from the things I see around me, from atmospheric seascapes to sunlit buildings, to create a “frozen moment in time”. I look at the normalcy of everyday places, finding beauty and meaning in the mundane and highlighting intricate details and textures often overlooked." Kev Oldham
