This Hospice Care Week, we’re inviting our community to talk about something that affects every one of us: death and dying.

Another Goodbye is a tender and thought-provoking performance by Adie Mueller, inspired by the loss of her mum.

Following the performance, we'll be joined by @hospicecarenorthnorthumberland for a conversation exploring the themes raised by the show.

A chance to reflect, listen, share and perhaps start a conversation you’ve been meaning to have.

🎭 Friday 16th October 7.45pm

Throwback to The Playhouse Guitar Festival!

What a weekend! We’re taking a moment to look back on an incredible few days of guitars, music, creativity and community. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the festival so special — whether you picked up a guitar, joined a workshop, watched a performance, or simply came along to enjoy the atmosphere.

And a very special thank you to the @ne_mayoralstrategicauthority for funding the weekend of activity and helping us bring this celebration of music to life.

We loved having you with us — and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🎶 by @alnwickplayhouse
