If You’re Not Celebrating Christmas…| Newcastle NE1
If Christmas isn’t your thing, fear not… you won’t be faced with a week of no plans in NE1. We’ve put together a handy list of things to do for a culture fix, for family fun and for film fanatics.
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI
The Star Wars saga continues this winter with The Last Jedi. The heroes of The Force Awakens join the galactic legends in an epic adventure that unlocks age-old mysteries of the Force and shocking revelations of the past. A must-see cinema screening this season with various 2D and 3D timings available.
STARLESS MIDNIGHT
Head over the water for a culture fix at the BALTIC in association with Freedom City 2017. In Martin Luther King's Newcastle University honorary degree acceptance speech he spoke of three urgent problems throughout the world: ‘the problem of racism, the problem of poverty and the problem of war.’ His words still ring true today and shedding light on those problems are a group of international artists exhibiting within BALTIC’s Level 3 gallery. Starless Midnight portrays the important legacies of Dr King and includes work from leading artist Edgar Arceneaux alongside participating artists Barby Asante, Louis Cameron, Charles Gains and Season Butler to name but a few. It’s a truly inspiring showcase - make sure you check it out this winter until 21 January 2018.
KALEIDOSCOPE
Round up the family, sit back, relax and immerse yourself in the colourful world of chemistry in this spellbinding Science Theatre show at the Life Science Centre. This winter, this cultural hotspot invites guests in to see a mesmerising compilation of demonstrations set to music. It’s sure to wow, you’re sure to be inspired and you’ll definitely leave with new science knowledge in the bag. Who knew science could be so fun?
