THE LATE SHOWS

Event Description

We’re taking part in this year’s late shows!


The Late Shows is an award-winning late-night free culture crawl across venues in Ouseburn Valley, Gateshead and central Newcastle.


Get ready for a weird and wonderful adventure curated by Tim Dalling, Jeremy Bradfield, Faye MacCalman, and a team of talented local performers, writers, and composers.


Embark on a participatory ballad-song and procession that guides you through hidden corners of Blackfriars and around our cloister garden. Then, immerse yourself in a ten-minute outdoor performance featuring retro-sinister video-mixing projections of historical images, looped saxophonic soundscapes inspired by early music, and a gripping folk-jazz horror-ballad. Three individuals will narrate the city’s history through a psycho-geographic lens.


We are also delighted to introduce Dearest Haley, who will animate the history of Blackfriars with impromptu micro poetry performances, incorporating your thoughts and responses as you explore the ancient building. Following the experience, you’ll receive a handwritten copy of the poem as a keepsake.


We’ll be firing up the BBQ, and our outdoor cloister garden bar will be serving cocktails and our signature home-brewed beer from our recently launched microbrewery. You can enjoy food and drinks in our Cloister Garden or to take-away.


This is an event you won’t want to miss!
