The Maltings is a live arts, cinema and theatre venue located in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, UK.
The Maltings also manages Berwick Visual Arts and its exhibition and residency programme across the Granary and the Gymnasium Galleries, located elsewhere in the town centre.
It is operated by The Maltings (Berwick) Trust as a registered charity. It is mostly funded through ticket sales, event promotions, and its other trading activities, but also receives annual funding from both Northumberland County Council and Arts Council England.
We celebrated our 25th?birthday in 2015 with a series of special events programmed through the year, including a memorable visit by HRH the Duke of Wessex on 1 May.
The building stands on a hillside in the centre of Berwick-upon-Tweed with views across the 17th century old?Berwick Bridge?and the?Tweed?estuary. It was built in the ruins of an early 19th-century?Maltings, which had been destroyed by fire in 1984. The new venue was designed by architects Law & Dunbar-Nasmith, and was opened on 4 April 1990 by?Peter Palumbo, then chairman of?Arts Council England. It is managed by The Maltings (Berwick) Trust, a?company limited by guarantee?and a registered charity.
