Book Stores in Gateshead, Tyne And Wear

“Another enjoyable visit to The Baltic today.
Fav was the Franki Raffles photography exhibition which was great, very interesting work by a very committed talented woman well worth viewing.
The pelvic sculpture Hannah Perry made a strong statement and the Fenwick's exhibition included a good selection of paintings and images.
We also had some lovely food in the cafe - much improved since our last visit. Trout bagel, tuna toasties, blondie and coffees were all lovely and fresh at very reasonable price.
Great helpful and friendly staff and service in comfortable airy space. We look fwd to returning soon x

Two new great exhibitions on at the mo (April 2023)
Black and white photography by Chris Killip (including Gateshead, Byker and North Tyneside)
And an amazing exhibition called the Procession by Hew Locke which I loved - great video too!
Would deffo recommend a visit ?❤️x”
