Hawick Museum and Gallery reveals the lives of Hawick’s people through the objects they loved, used every day, and brought back from far-away places. You can also explore the exciting careers of two local lads who found world fame as motorcycle champions: Jimmie Guthrie and Steve Hislop. In a room overlooking Hawick’s unique Art Deco war memorial, an impressive Roll of Honour commemorates townsmen who fell in the two World Wars.
Three galleries house temporary exhibitions, so there’s always something new to see. A lively programme of schools events includes ‘lessons’ in a period schoolroom and quizzes for children.
The museum is set in a beautiful Victorian park, a real hidden jewel of the Borders, with crazy golf and a café on the doorstep.
The Museum has a lively programme of events, as well as temporary exhibitions.
