THE STRAW YARD is a site located on the historic walls of Berwick-upon-Tweed and is a part of the Berwick-upon-Tweed Barracks. It consists of an outdoor area, office facilities and a workshop that is currently a blank canvas ready to be converted into a small, multipurpose creative space.
​
In March 2024 we took over the site which will now serve as our permanent home, administration office and rehearsal and development space.​ We are also working closely with organisations in Berwick-upon-Tweed and Northumberland to enable the space to be used as a hub for artists and groups, as well as for other events.
​​
It is our intention that THE STRAW YARD will become a brave, creative space that enables collaboration and support with people and companies from across the UK and beyond.
​
TORTIVE THEATRE will be only one part of THE STRAW YARD'S story, but in the initial stages we will be managing the renovation, development and strategy of the site as it comes to life.
​
We are currently in the process of constructing our website and putting together a programme of events and services. If you would like to hear about the events and developments at THE STRAW YARD please use our Audience Sign-Up form below.
