Our next Exhibition and Pop Up Event will be on Tuesday 25th November.

Until then, please visit the permanent exhibition in the foyer of The Lodge, which is currently only open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Our last exhibition and open day at The Lodge on Tuesday 16th September 2025 was all about “Consett – a Steel Town”.


In April 2025 the exhibition was about “Local Myths, Legends and Characters” and there were old photos of the localities on display. Some of material in that exhibition has been reproduced in the ‘Articles’ section.
In 2024 there was an exhibition of “Old Photographs of Local Buildings” in September, followed by one in November on the theme of “Winter in Consett”.
In 2024 it was decided the all future exhibitions would be held at The Lodge in Blackhill and Consett Park, where we are based.
There were no exhibitions in 2023.
In May and October 2022 we held exhibitions at Consett Methodist Church Hall.
