SUMMARY:Women Behind Bars: Life in Newcastle Prison\, 1828–1925 (Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:What was it like to be a woman behind bars in 19th and early-20th-century Newcastle? \nJoin us for a powerful exhibition\, coinciding with International Women’s Day (8 March)\, which uncovers the hidden histories of women in Newcastle Prison. \nDrawing on Newcastle Prison: A History 1828–1925 (Tyne Bridge Publishing\, 2025)\, the exhibition brings to light the stories of young girls\, women affected by poverty and addiction\, and suffragettes who challenged the boundaries of their time. Together\, these voices reveal the realities of crime\, punishment and resilience in a society shaped by inequality. \nThe exhibition incorporates the ‘Story Chair’\, developed for Newcastle Cathedral in 2023 through a unique collaboration involving women with lived experience of the criminal justice system. The Story Chair has since toured several other venues\, carrying profound meaning for the women who contributed to its creation and ensuring authentic representation.\n \nThe exhibition is open free of charge during the Cathedral’s standard opening hours – no booking required. \nNewcastle Prison: A History 1828–1925 is available to purchase from the Cathedral retail space and the Newcastle Gaol website. \nThe Story Chair was a collaborative project involving Changing Lives\, Northumbria University\, and the National Trust\, with additional support from the North East Probation Service and the British Academy. \nWatch the video below to learn about the development of the Story Chair\, created by North East furniture maker Nick James\, who worked closely with the women involved in the project.

SUMMARY:Tyne & Wear Citizens - Newcastle Local Elections Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Tyne & Wear Citizens come together for a major Election Assembly ahead of the local council elections. \nThis spring’s elections are unlike any Newcastle has seen for many years. With all-out elections taking place across the city\, there is real uncertainty about who will be leading the council – and real opportunity to shape what comes next. The decisions made by the next council will affect housing\, services\, safety\, work and opportunity for years to come. \nThe Election Assembly is a chance to act together at a critical moment. Rooted in listening that has taken place across our member institutions\, the Assembly will bring hundreds of organised citizens face-to-face with candidates from across the political spectrum. We will ask them to listen carefully\, respond publicly\, and make clear commitments to work with our alliance on the issues facing our communities. \nAs always\, Tyne & Wear Citizens will remain strictly politically neutral. Candidates from all major parties and independents will be invited and held to the same standards of respect\, accountability and seriousness. Our focus is on the issues shaping people’s lives in Newcastle\, and on building strong\, constructive relationships with those elected to lead the city after May. \nThis Assembly will be a public moment of accountability and hope: communities speaking with confidence about the pressures they face\, and candidates responding before the people they seek to represent. \nTickets are required but can be booked for free. \nClick here to sign up to attend and be part of this important moment for Newcastle.
