Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery

Seahouses

10,000 years of unique Northumberland heritage are on display in Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery, housed inside a refurbished church.

In the historic Castle Quarter of Alnwick, Bailiffgate’s unique setting provides a dramatic backdrop to its extensive collection as there’s much to marvel at inside; original stained-glass windows, decorative interiors and the church organ. Explore the rich history of the market town, Alnwick, and surrounding areas, particularly significant as a central point during years of conflict between Scotland and England.

Two floors are dedicated to a permanent collection of artefacts, documents, photographs, and audio-visual content celebrating local history, while the third floor is used as an exhibition and events space, with a rolling programme of exhibitions taking place year-round. The museum also celebrates the abundance of arts and crafts created locally.
