Crossing The Tyne Festival 2017

This is our third year, and this time there are events in Newcastle and Gateshead as well as North and South Shields and on The Shields Ferry – plus an Evening River Trip to round off the day!

If you are coming to the Festival:

  • Details on the posters below were correct at time of going to press.
  • There may be some changes to the running order at some venues since then
  • If you want the most up to date information, please check the Crossing The Tyne Festival Facebook Page or Facebook Group
  • Most Venues or Organisers have also created Facebook Events that you can check for updates (see links below)

Event/Venue Organisers:

  • We know that you might have agreed some changes to the running order after the posters on this page “went to print”
  • You can leave a comment at the bottom of this Page if you want to flag up any further changes – but please contact Steve in the usual way first
  • Thank you for all your hard work!

Performers:

  • Please try to contact the Event Organiser for your venue in the first instance if you have any questions, need to advise of any changes, etc.
  • Contact names are shown on each poster on this page
  • If you have arranged to change where and/or when you are appearing, it might have been too late for us to update the “posters” on this page. Do not worry! The running order will be as you agreed with Steve and/or the Event Organiser.
  • Thank you for being so generous with your time and talents!
