Northumberland National Park Authority has confirmed its £14.8m state-of-the art visitor centre on Hadrian’s Wall will officially open its doors on Saturday, July 29.
The building features exhibitions about landscape, culture and heritage, several learning and event spaces, a 90 seater café, a youth hostel, a rural business hub, a shop packed with local produce, arts and crafts and a tourist information service.
Park chief executive Tony Gates said: “The Sill is the single most significant initiative to be undertaken in rural Northumberland in a generation and will transform how people engage with landscape, nature and the great outdoors.”
