Grand Day Out: What a Whopper!

Enjoy a changing programme of art activities inspired by The Pitmen Painters and our coal mining community heritage, with something different to create each time you visit.

Every miner and their family grew their own vegetables, either in the yard, or on an allotment. Artist Paul Merrick and staff are going to build Woodhorn’s first allotment and we need you to help with the vegetables – make your own awesome leeks, perfect peas or terrific tomatoes.

The ‘Pitmen Painters: Resurfacing’ summer season at Woodhorn Museum has been made possible through the support of Northumberland County Council, Arts Council England, The Ashington Group Trustees, Ashington Town Council, Newcastle University and The Arts & Humanities Research Council.

Take part in our Instagram competition
