1900 Hadrian’s Wall Country

A festival of events and activities to celebrate 1900 years since the building of Hadrian’s Wall. It commemorates 1900 years of history of the UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS), recognised locally, nationally, and internationally, as a cultural and historical asset of Outstanding Universal Value to humanity.

This website takes you to events across the year but also invites you to get involved if you are local to part of the wall or you would like to volunteer.  You can offer to help with anything from lighting beacons to outreach work. Coming up:

• Easter activities
• English Tourism Week and
• World Heritage Day

Hadrian’s Wall Country is the brand used by the Hadrian’s Wall Partnership to promote the World Heritage Site to visitors. The brand was introduced in 2002 by the Hadrian’s Wall Tourism Partnership and conveys and reinforces values that encourage visitors, linking the World Heritage Site to the rural and urban landscape through which it runs.
