A Candlelight Night

Join us in this beautiful Arts & Crafts venue for a night of crafts and calm, lit by candlelight. 

This is an external event. I’m promoting this event as the Project Coordinator for Discover Jesmond 1888. The ticket and other links likely go to other websites.

We’re lighting the church with hundreds of candles, hosting a series of craft workshops, and welcoming a selection of local artisans and traders. We’ll update this page as we release more information!

Craft Activities

  • Stained Glass paper craft
  • Collage Activity
  • Third craft yet to be confirmed…

These are included in the free ticket, but donations are encouraged.

The Market

We’ll be hosting a series of local vendors with stalls that encourage your creativity and personalisable products.

The Venue: St George’s

St George’s is a gorgeous Arts and Craft church build in 1888 that truly stands the test of time. With its stained glass, carvings and mosaics theres always a new detail to explore. We’ll be lighting the space with candles to highlight the awe the space encourages.

We’ll also be playing our immersive audio tour tracks about the space – and its famous fans.

We’ll also have the Church Hall open for toilets throughout the evening.

Tickets

Attending the stalls, market and craft workshops is free, however we ask for a £5 deposit to secure your ticket which will be refunded after you attend the event.
