NEW! - The Twilight Shows
We’re always looking for new ways to help young people visit venues and have fun experiences. This is why for the first time some of The Late Shows venues will be opening their doors a little earlier than usual, as part of The Twilight Shows.
The Twilight Shows will be a series of special events aimed at teenagers, running at various times between 4-7pm. Below you can find our Twilight Shows line-up, all of which are providing some brilliant events and activities for 12-17 year olds.
Friday 18 May, 4pm
Tyneside Cinema and The Late Shows are teaming up to present a special Twilight screening of this year’s must-see coming of age comedy Love, Simon, with those aged 18 or under able to see the film for free! A brilliant pre-event to enjoy before heading over to Ouseburn for the first night of The Late Shows.
Seventeen-year old Simon Spier (Jurassic World’s Nick Robinson) is waiting for the right moment to tell his family and friends that he’s gay. Based on Becky Albertalli's acclaimed novel, Love, Simon feels both fresh yet sweetly familiar, creating a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story that perfectly reflects our time.
Please note: Visitors aged 18 or under will be able to get free tickets for this screening. To redeem your tickets just email boxoffice@tynesidecinema.co.uk, call 0191 227 5500 or pick your tickets up from Tyneside Cinema’s Box Office in person.
Love, Simon (12A)

Celebrate comic art, to a soundtrack of comics-inspired tunes.
How about creating supersized comic art in the Studio? Or dressing up as a comic character in the Attic?
There will be live drawing from local comic artist and writer, Nigel Auchterlounie who writes and draws for the Beano and will be signing copies of his new book Dennis and the Chamber of Mischief, available to buy in the Bookshop. Bring your latest comic creations for Nigel to see and learn tips and tricks as you draw along. The Café will also be in on the fun serving ‘Gnashers Bangers’ to keep rumbling tummies at bay along with a good old fashioned tuck shop for those with a sweet tooth!
Before you head off into the night, be sure to join in with a Late Shows Spotlight Tour where one our Story Catchers will share their personal highlights from the eclectic mix of original comic art on display in our interactive Comics exhibition.

Inter-Acting creates stories about the complications of being human. We are a company based on individuals, and we work with groups that have a range of different issues, using theatre as a catalyst to uncover and challenge social injustice.

OPEN HEART THEATRE WORKSHOP (5-6.30pm) - Have you ever seen someone on stage and thought 'I wish I could do that?', or have you ever done something and thought 'What just happened there?!'
They are a company of Improvisers, which means they make up things that make us laugh, without a script, in front of an audience! Sounds scary huh? Being able to improvise is knowing how you react under pressure and what you can do to make those reactions the ones you want and need.
This workshop will be focused on all the fun games we can play which let us see what happens when we feel 'on the spot'. There'll be a lot of laughs and you might even learn something about yourself.
