HODS 2021- From Roman Milecastle to Arts Centre

August 12, 2021 Posted by Newcastle Arts Centre News

Tour and talk, from Roman Milecastle to Arts Centre

 

The history of the Arts Centre site goes back to the building of Hadrian’s Wall and a Milecastle Courtyard that is still in use. The fascinating story of this political, mercantile and cultural powerhouse is told on a guided tour.

 

Set between the lines of the Roman and City Walls this location is at the heart of the City’s cultural past and current arts development. It is a carefully restored group of buildings on Roman foundations, which through centuries of development can be traced involving the lives of people that dominated Tyneside. Today the Arts Centre is a meeting place for over 60 groups and organisations and hosts more than a thousand events each year.
