Events in Tynemouth From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a mix of community-led cultural events across local venues this week, blending long-standing practices with new public engagement formats. On Thursday 7 April at the Great North Museum: Hancock, families can join an interactive story session for children under five, using puppets and sounds to explore storytelling in informal settings. The same venue hosts a clay workshop on Friday 8 April from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, led by local potter Margaret Haines; participants will shape earthenware items with guidance focused on technique rather than outcome.

On Saturday 9 April at Tyneside Cinema, three screenings are scheduled: a retrospective of early British documentary film from 1952, followed by an illustrated talk titled ‘The Coast in Colour’, and ending with a short feature about maritime heritage. The event runs until 8 pm; admission is free but seating must be reserved via the venue’s website.

Evening performances include live music at Playhouse, Whitley Bay on Tuesday 10 April, featuring local jazz ensemble Trio Nove from 6:30 pm onwards , their set focuses on interpretations of post-war British compositions.
