The Newbiggin by the Sea Heritage Association commenced in 2000 when local people came together, with support from Wansbeck Community and Voluntary Service (WCVS), with the aim of developing a Heritage Centre to showcase the village’s long and interesting history. This small beginning has formed the catalyst for the exciting Newbiggin Maritime Centre which is now at the planning stages.

The Newbiggin by the Sea Heritage Centre was developed using the old beach hut on a primesite at the north end the promenade in Newbiggin bay.  The Centre has interesting artifacts and is open regularly during the summer months supported by a dedicated group of volunteers.
