SUMMARY:Medieval Mystery Plays – 'The Shipwright's Tale' and 'The Flood'
DESCRIPTION:Newcastle City Guides present two Miracle/Mystery plays in Newcastle Cathedral. These were originally performed on carts in the streets by working men and their apprentices\, making this an unforgettable theatre trip back in time! \n‘The Shipwright’s Tale’ is the only remaining play from the Newcastle Cycle. This will be followed by ‘The Flood’ – from the York Cycle\, which the City Guides have special permission to perform. Both are lively and unusual interpretations of Biblical tales. \nIn ‘The Shipwright’s Tale’\, the Devil is looking for a way to survive the flood\, and plans to seduce Noah’s wife so he can get the secret of how to make another ark. \nIn ‘The Flood’\, Noah has to fill the Ark with pairs of animals and his family before the deluge starts. \nThis event will be performed in the Nave\, which is fully accessible to wheelchair users. For any enquiries regarding tickets and bookings\, please contact Newcastle City Guides.

SUMMARY:‘Theology & The Work of Andy Goldsworthy’ – Afternoon talk by Andii Bowsher
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Diocese of Newcastle’s Continuing Ministerial Formation (CMF) group\, this monthly seminar series meets on the first Thursday of each month to explore the fascinating and often unexpected intersections between theology and other disciplines. \nJoin Andii Bowsher on Thursday 8 January for ‘Theology & The Work of Andy Goldsworthy’. Doors open at 3:30pm for a 4pm start. \nAndy Goldsworthy’s art is ephemeral\, based in nature and often only known because it is recorded in pictures or film. It requires patience and a contemplative preparatory process. Andii has long been an admirer of the art produced and finds in it some theological touching points as well as thoughts of spirituality. \nAndii works at Northumbria University as coordinator for Spiritual Care. They also work occasionally as a tutor with Lindisfarne College of Theology and volunteer as a trustee with Green Christian. They’re a grandparent and a husband\, and this year will have been in diaconal orders for 40 years. \nPre-booking is not essential\, but it would be greatly appreciated to help us plan refreshments and seating. \nPlease note: This event will take place in a space at Newcastle Cathedral that is accessible by lift. Full details on how to access the space will be provided in advance.

SUMMARY:God is in the Detail (Photographic Exhibition by Alan\, Cathedral Verger)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a photographic exhibition by Alan Edington\, Verger at Newcastle Cathedral for 15 years. \nAlan says\, “My role is all about the often-unnoticed\, behind-the-scenes care and attention that keeps this building welcoming for people from all walks of life who come to seek God. \n“I first picked up a camera in 1999 – I’m not sure why. By 2005\, feeling as though I was going around in circles\, I enrolled as a mature student at Northumbria University to study Contemporary Photography. \n“These photographs began as a personal project alongside my university work\, exploring various ideas and themes. It’s a project that has continued ever since\, with new images added recently. \n“Things are not always as clear as they seem at first glance\, and the phrase ‘The devil is in the detail’ reminds us to pay close attention. Jesus’s words\, ‘Seek\, and you shall find’\, offer a more hopeful vision of God who can be found everywhere and in everything – if we take the time to look. \n“Yet\, from the sidelines\, observing this world\, it can sometimes feel hard to see any sign of God. Perhaps\, though\, the signs are all around us – it’s just that we don’t always notice them. \n“Through this collection of photographs of familiar\, yet often overlooked\, spaces around this city\, I have seen God and invite you to ‘seek’ with me. Who knows what you might find? \n“God is in the detail. Draw near with faith. The signs are there.” \nThe exhibition will be celebrated with a ‘Meet the Photographer’ event on Monday 19 January 2026 at 6:30pm. \nGod is in the Detail: Meet the Photographer\, Alan Edington
