Supported by Historic England as part of the North Shields 800 celebrations, Globe Gallery is delighted to invite you to the preview event marking the culmination of a new body of work.

The exhibition includes a collaborative installation co-produced with over 70 participants with artist Kitty McKay, inspired by local stories connected to Hawkeys Lane Lido and the legacy of North Shields-born William Harbutt, inventor of Plasticine.

Thursday 23rd October

Slot 1: 5pm – 7pm
Slot 2: 7pm- 9pm

We look forward to sharing this magnificent celebration of both William Harbutt and the long lost Hawkeys Lane Lido.

This project has been made possible with the support of the UK Government, Historic England, North Shields 800, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
