How the queue started & how it escalated in rapid fashion…

First ever @thelateshows ✅. And honestly… we’re still trying to process it.

On Friday night, over 200 people queued through Ouseburn Yard to pour their own mini candle with us. The queue wrapped all the way down the yard, the shelves were stripped bare while candles were setting, and the whole place had this unreal buzz from start to finish.

We genuinely thought a few people might pop by for a sniff and a nosy. Instead, Newcastle absolutely showed up.

Massive thank you to everyone who waited patiently, poured candles with us, grabbed goodies from the shop, and turned our little container into complete organised chaos for the night. Hollie worked like absolute trojans to keep up.

Unbelievable scenes. First ever complete.

Now excuse us while we attempt to recover in time for the next one…in 2027 😂 by @thelateshows

WOW. Grainger Market Unplugged was an absolute joy on Saturday ✨❤️

Huge thank you to all the incredible artists, traders, performers, musicians, partners and market staff who helped bring such brilliant energy and good vibes to the space across The Late Shows Newcastle.

It was so lovely seeing Grainger Market buzzing with creativity, music, conversations, families, young people, food, drinks and thousands of people soaking up the atmosphere together 🌈✨

Big shout out to everyone who visited our NOVUM creative pop-up and got stuck into artist-led print making, collaging, drawing, painting and stop motion animation!

…alongside gorgeous creative chats with The Six Twenty about Newcastle memories, iconic people, locations, moments and the things that make this city special ❤️

Team NOVUM had SUCH lovely feedback about the activities, the atmosphere and the joy of having a free, family-friendly creative night in the city centre.

Thank you for showing up, getting creative and being part of it - it's got us VERY excited for NOVUM Summer Festival now✨

Big shout out to Creative Central NCL for inviting us to be part of the event!

Today at The Late Shows 🌉

Seven Bridges is an interactive sound installation by SALT, commissioned by Creative Central NCL and inspired by the seven bridges across the Tyne at Newcastle and Gateshead.

Each bridge unlocks a different layer of music, from drums and percussion to strings, guitars, brass, choir and keys.

Step onto the pads with someone else and you’ll unlock new music. To hear the full piece, 14 people need to take part together.

Seven Bridges at Discovery Museum
Today, Saturday 9 May
From 6pm to 10.30pm

@sevenbridgestyne is created by @saltrecording in collaboration with local musicians, artists, singers and technicians. Plus bridge artwork by @marcia.ley

Creative Central NCL funds artists and creatives thanks to funding from @northeast_ca and @newcastlecouncil taken in Discovery Museum by @thelateshows
