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:Lent Book Group: ‘Easter in Disguise’ by Liz Dodd
DESCRIPTION:Join Cathedral Reader Katherine Govier on Wednesday evenings during Lent for a discussion of Bloomsbury’s 2026 Lent Book\, ‘Easter in Disguise’ by Liz Dodd. \nAbout the book:\nLent is Easter in disguise – a radical\, subversive season of resistance. A blend of contemporary spirituality\, scriptural reflection and tales from one of the UK’s youngest nuns makes this a vibrant take on an ancient season. \nThis book is a companion to the six weeks of Lent\, with each week and its gospel focus corresponding to one of Jesus’ six spiritualities of social justice. It culminates in a fresh look at the traditions of Holy Week. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and a suggested spiritual practice\, making it ideal for use with a group as well as for personal prayer. \nSpaces are limited\, and the sessions’ location will be shared after registration. Please email k.govier@newcastle.anglican.org to reserve your spot. \nClick here to order your copy of the book via the Bloomsbury website.
