Learning & Participation
Welcome to this month's Learning and Participation newsletter! We would like to reassure you that although the lifting of restrictions has been delayed by the government this will not affect the delivery of Learning & Participation events at the Globe. All our plans have been made under current guidelines, with reduced capacity and staff and volunteers in place to make sure our events happen in a covid secure fashion. We are, of course, disappointed not to be able to release more tickets for our July events as planned but we will be doing our utmost to make sure that your visit is an informative and enjoyable one.

In The Globe from July

Tyne Valley Folk Train

Tyne Valley Folk Train
Sunday 15 August, noon - 5pm


Traditional tunes and songs – and some more modern ones – will be performed by excellent local musicians. Everyone gets a chance to join in, if you are a player or a singer. Or if you just fancy a sing along with some well-known North East songs, then we’ll lead you through the choruses. Alternatively, you’re very welcome to just sit back and listen. With restrictions on singing on public transport likely to still apply, we are delighted to host the Tyne Valley Folk Train’s popular event at The Globe. Newcomers and regulars all welcome.
