FOOD AND DRINK We’ve got some of the region’s best street food for you to try at this year’s festival. Anyone attending the music concerts at Tynemouth Priory and Castle can enjoy food from our independent street food traders serving great food, sourced and produced locally. There’s a fully stocked festival bar with top beers, wine and prosecco ready to go.

Concert attendees can bring their own food and drink in reasonable quantities but no glass is allowed.

STREET ENTERTAINMENT Wild: Motionhouse WILD creates an urban forest in the everyday of the city. Performers use powerful physicality and incredible feats to move through a forest of tall poles. From the top, life in the canopy looks down onto the forest ﬂoor - a dangerous world of unknown meetings. In our modern lives, is the wild still shaping our behaviour?

Without Walls is a network of festivals that brings fantastic outdoor arts to people in towns and cities across the UK. www.withoutwalls.uk.com

PROGRAMME BY

The Rascally Diner: LAS Theatre A riotous family performance for all ages. Cook up a stink as part of Rufus Skumskins O’Parsley’s kitchen crew or bring a pot to bang and ward off evil cakes in this fun-ﬁlled, messy performance about food!

Distant Drums: Whispered Tales Distant Drums tells the story of Reggae Sound System culture and its role in the ﬁght for racial equality. As the speakers power up, digital screens appear within the stack. Two performers transport the audience from Africa to the Caribbean until they ﬁnally arrive, suitcase in hand, on the shores of the UK.

Leave The Light On For Me: Mind The Gap Mind the Gap is England’s leading learning disability performance company. Their new show Leave the Light on for Me is a joyous and rebellious outdoor performance that explores climate change and justice from a fresh perspective.

Glam: Etta Ermini Dance Theatre & Van Huynh Company Glam is a dance and circus cabaret, a humorous outdoor street performance celebrating fabulousness! Audience members are encouraged to join in the fun and dance with the cast in this gloriously fast paced show of acrobatics, hand to hand, disco, feathers, glitter and glamorous make-up!

Routes: The B Collective + Theatre Temoin (Saturday Only) Routes is a big puppet promenade show built with a team of refugee, migrant, and British-born artists, that explores perspectives on ‘Homes’ and ‘Others’. Inspired by true stories from across the globe, Routes is a fantastical journey through danger, hope and humanity.

Out of the Deep Blue: Autin Dance Theatre (Sunday Only) Out of the Deep Blue tells the magical story of Eko, a 13-foot Sea Giant who rises from the deep ocean. On the shore, he encounters a little girl called Violet. Their tale is inspired by the climate emergency and the biodiversity crisis.

The Band at the End of the World: Ramshaklicious A miniature brass band like no other, these musical clowns think the end of the world might be just around the corner - if we all don’t take responsibility for it!

Let’s Grow Walkabout The Let’s Grow Nannies are two eccentric gardeners out for a day trip with their family of little ones. So, if you see an old pram brimming with some beautiful bouncing baby fruits and vegetables, come over and say hello!

Urban Oasis Insect Walkabout Look out for giant bees and other human-sized insects foraging along Front Street!

Bert: Boom Circus Bert is the story of a socially inept outsider whose world is turned upside down when his sister comes home to visit with her best friend. Try as he might to continue with his lonesome life, she is just too bright and bubbly for Bert to ignore!

Annabelle Holland Annabelle will be doing a double shift as compere Goldie Fiasco and knife thrower extraordinaire Bunny. Warm-hearted and wonderfully bonkers, Goldie is hostess with the mostest at festivals and cabarets all over Australia. Bunny’s unique knife throwing act is a story of love and loss – for at least one young man in the audience!

Lance Moi En L’Air: Joli Vyann Lance Moi fuses dance and acrobatics in a breathtakingly beautiful performance about sensitivity and connection in human relationships.

Do What Ya Mama Told Ya: Just More Productions Performed by a real-life mother and daughter, this immersive and vibrant comedy cooking show is a feast of food fusion and storytelling across geography and generations.
