Are you missing the open studio vibe? Well do not despair! Our friends at Dunbar Art Route kick off their open studios this coming Friday.

📆Friday 16 – Sunday 18 October 2026
📍in and around Dunbar

More than 60 artists will open their doors across 32 creative spaces for the Dunbar Open Studios Art Route. The Art Route follows the coastal road from West Barns, through Belhaven and into the heart of Dunbar, with private studios, galleries and pop-up venues dotted along the way. Visitors can pick up a route map and create their own itinerary, starting at any venue and exploring at their own pace.

From ceramics, painting and printmaking to textiles, collaborative embroidery, jewellery, sculpture and more, the Art Route celebrates the remarkable breadth of creative talent in Dunbar, Belhaven and West Barns.

Join us for the second weekend of the very first Berwick Open Studios - where we are celebrating the many selling galleries, studios and talented artists and makers in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Last weekend was absolutely wonderful, with such a buzz around town, and this weekend we’re doing it all again!

3 & 4 October, venues will open their doors, offering a rare chance to catch a glimpse into the working world of artists and designer-makers. Some venues are new to opening this weekend, and some places have a change in artist since last week, so make sure you take a look at the guide map and don’t miss anything!

Who are you going to see, and what will you discover?

If you don’t yet have a map come by Venue 10 on the Quayside and pick one up from us, or from any venue marked on the map. A full list of participating artists and venues, and the downloadable map is online.
