The Burr of Berwick

First introduced at the 2024 Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival as a social space with a film library, conversations and screenings, The Burr is now a roving social space for film and discussions. Named after the local Northumbrian language and dialect ‘The Burr’, Berwick – everyone is welcome to come along!

In each event we’ll gather together to explore different topics relevant to Berwick and our local area. We invite you to watch films and explore and bring up topics that matter to you. 

Aside from our year-round events, the annual Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival will be 27-30 March 2025
