Four attractions in Northumberland are offering a new membership scheme for group bookers.
The Woodhorn Charitable Trust is offering group discounts and incentives at its four museums:
- Woodhorn Museum
- Berwick Museum and Art Gallery
- Hexham Old Gaol and Hexham Moothall
- Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum.
For the first time, groups can have a free guided tour of the Woodhorn Museum, a historic colliery on Northumberland’s coastal route that’s home to the famous Pitmen Painter’s art collection, amassed over 50 years by the Ashington Group.
The group mainly consisted of talented coal miners. Their work was brought to prominence by the award-winning play Pitmen Painters, by Billy Elliot writer, Lee Hall.
Groups can also get discounted entry at the museum with free entry for drivers/organisers; discount on purchases in the museum shop; and bespoke discounted refreshment packages, as well as meal vouchers for drivers.
The site also has free coach parking.
Hexham Old Gaol and Berwick Museum & Art Gallery also offer new benefits for advance bookings, with group admission rates, free entry for group leaders and drivers, special guided tours or museum introductions, and shop discounts.
Group visitors to all of the museums can also convert their individual admission ticket into an annual pass for free return visits.
