About this Event
A special event for Heritage Open Days, an artist-guided sketch walk through the music halls of Newcastle
Our destination is the Tyne Theatre & Opera House.
Along the way, we will visit and sketch the Grainger Music Hall, where Charles Dickens performed in his one-man shows. We will also visit Balmbra's Music Hall, Theatre Royal, Westgate Cinema, and anywhere else we discover along the way.
You'll receive your own “chapbook, " a traditional format with a rich history. Originally sold in 16th-century Europe by peddlers known as chapmen, these compact publications were filled with popular literature, folk tales, religious tracts, or political pamphlets.
On the walk, you can explore, sketch and photograph the buildings which you will illustrate in your chapbook.
Your artists for the walk will be: Richard Hall, Ken Bee and Geoffrey Wong.
Meeting place
We'll meet at the Creative Central NCL Hub near Grainger Market at 9:45am on 15 September.
We expect the walk to last around two hours, including time to photograph and sketch. You will be invited to return to the Hub to finish your chapbook and get advice and tuition from one of our resident artists.
