The museum is temporarily closed as part of the Barrack's Project and is not due to re-open until Autumn 2026.
It is a museum and heritage site. It is part of English heritage and free entry if you have an English heritage membership. It has 3 different museums. Each contains a lot of history about Berwick.
A really great and informative museum covering many historical periods and has lots of memorabilia to see and read about. Staff are very helpful, the rooms and route are well laid & thought out and are on two floors, (ground & first). There's also a smaller museum inside at the back of the courtyard with a treasure hunt for kids. There's a small shop and restrooms. Definitely include on a day trip to Berwick.
Had an interesting time here they have lots of displays of soldiers and their lives thro the years in diff parts of the museum's and a nice gift shop with a very nice man
K.O.S.B. Museum, Very Interesting and Educational This was a great find, we came to the barracks not really knowing what to expect but what we found was very interesting and very educational. I would urge anyone with the slightest interest in History and the Military to visit this gem. The collection chronologically traces the history of the regiment over 300 years to the present day. The history of The King's Own Scottish Borderers is traced through displays of uniforms, headdresses, figures, paintings, badges, medals, weapons and relics from the various campaigns in which it has been involved. There is a wonderful display of regimental silverware including some really quirky pieces. The Colours Room where the last of the Regiments Flags are displayed is very atmospheric. There is a car park 50 metres from the Barracks. Facilities on site: Toilets (including disabled), a Museum sales point and light refreshments are available in the English Heritage shop. Due to the listed nature of the buildings, there is no wheelchair access to the upper floors of the Museum. This is one of three museums within the Barracks and the K.O.S.B. museum is the one keeps you there for the longest time as there is so much to take in and understand about this remarkable regiment. If you are in Berwick then this museum is a must see. I intend to return so that I can give more time to this remarkable collection. Until November 2018 there is an "Aftermath Exhibition" portraying the life soldiers returned to and the difficulties they faced finding work.
Before it is gone and the history is lost pay a visit and be inspired by great deeds never to be repeated.Take your time and enjoy a great experience.
Brilliant museum. Excellent friendly staff. Why are they shutting this place down in August? English Heritage - Shame on you!
