OUSEBURN FESTIVAL

The wider Ouseburn Festival programme includes a vast range of entertainment on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th July.

Of particular note is a collab between World Headquarters (who celebrate their 30th anniversary) and Miso Newcastle, in which their event Get Together Newcastle take over the Ballast Hills site for a weekend of music, food and art which starts on the Friday night (the only ticketed part, the rest is free). Lime Street will be the focus for stalls and performances across the weekend, with the Ouseburn Market packed with 60 stalls from local artists and makers behind Northern Print. There’s plenty to amuse families, with free boat trips which will run between Spiller’s Quay and the Swing Bridge; there’s immersive outdoor music, art, dance, circus performance and workshops at the Ouseburn Woodland Takeover courtesy of Skimstone Arts and the Ouseburn Trust; youngsters will love Seven Stories’ Storytimes in the Wild Roots Community Garden; and Toffee Factory welcomes arts organisation CHALK for a weekend of family-friendly workshops.
