The Late Shows 2024

For one night only, be a kid again as you explore a host of giant inflatable activities – think bouncy castles, slides, ball-pools and more. Separate activities for children and adults. Time limits may apply.

There will be a dedicated quiet space available for any visitors who need a place to relax.

The Late Shows, an award-winning late-night free culture crawl will return on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 May 2024 across venues in Ouseburn Valley, Gateshead and central Newcastle.

During The Late Shows, museums, galleries, studio collectives and heritage venues come together to offer one-off events including activities, behind-the-scenes tours, performances and parties. It's the perfect way to sample the best of Newcastle and Gateshead's cultural offer in short taster visits.
