The Maltings venue and galleries are closed until it’s safe and viable for us to open again. We all miss it. You’ve made us the heart of creativity and entertainment for Berwick. Our audiences, artists, performers, young people and volunteers bring the place to life. We know the gap we leave and we’re determined to return.
As a registered charity with no box office or café income since March, we’re cutting our costs right back and accessing all the help we can from local and national Government, and from charitable trusts. Before we re-open we’ll need to make some big changes – new cleaning, hygiene and distancing arrangements to take good care of our customers, performers and staff, and limits on the number of tickets we sell for events. And we’ll stay closed until all this can happen.
So we need your help, the support of our own theatrical ‘angels’. We’re asking everyone who values The Maltings and wants to continue enjoying it in the future to donate to help us survive. We know these are difficult times, but every donation will make a huge difference and bring reopening closer.
We’ve enlisted Berwick’s most famous angel, Henry Travers in the film It’s a Wonderful Life, to bring us luck. Taking part in community shows in Berwick ignited Henry’s love of theatre as a youngster and he went on to play one of cinema’s most optimistic characters. Will you be our Guardian Angel?
Thank you for your support.

The Maltings is such a valuable asset to our town. I have had so many fantastic memories from visits with family & friends. Children's shows to comedians, pantomimes to plays, tribute acts to talented locals. Can't wait until you are open again. x

Looking forward to your reopening

I would like to see it rebuilt with more leg room when sitting as my family men can’t ever come as they can’t sit in theatre!!

We've been coming to the Berwick area for more than 50 years now. For almost 30 years, The Maltings have been our go-to place for live events, exhibitions or a tea and a chat at the café. We sincerely hope that you will be able to continue.

Before the lockdown I was a regular visitor to The Maltings to watch films. It would be a great loss to Berwick and the surrounding area if it had to permanently close because of the pandemic. Hopefully The Maltings can open again soon even with everyone distancing/wearing masks it will be great to be able to see films again.

I visit Berwick every year from Edinburgh and try to visit The Maltings to see a performance. It would be a real shame such a see a regional theatre close.

The maltings has helped me with so much throughout the years. From being able to experience amazing live theatre, to being a part of so many groups and societies which have made a huge impact to my life. I love absolutely every single person both behind the scenes and front of house at the maltings. you are all true inspirations and I cant thank you enough for what you do for me.
