Located just a stone's throw from Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site at Once Brewed, the award-winning building opened in 2017 and features a free-to-enter landscape exhibition, seasonal exhibitions, a stunning accessible green roof and viewing platform with 360-degree panoramic views, the Once Brewed Coffee and Bakehouse café, and a gift shop specialising in local crafts and produce. The venue is fully accessible throughout with a Changing Places toilet, and is the perfect starting point for family days out exploring Northumberland National Park.
