Explore our Curious Spaces at Bruce Castle during Open House Weekend with local Artist Rebecca Chitty who will be here working with families to create a ‘wall of bricks’! Inspired by five centuries of brick-making for the historic building of Bruce Castle, you can get hands-on and curious by taking a brick rubbing from our Tudor Tower. You can then decorate your rubbings in your own style or add your story, turning the artwork into a commemorative 'brick'. You could dedicate it to a loved one or favourite thing to celebrate and remember. The ‘bricks’ will be hung up together to build a ‘wall’, collectively telling our diverse stories about local people.
You can also tell us what you would like to see in the future at our mysterious Tudor Tower - from ghostly storytelling to escape rooms! Help us collect your vision and fantastical drawings about the Tudor Tower.
