Alan Campbell MP for Tynemouth Community Commitment Common Sense
This year is the 800th anniversary of the town of North Shields.
I’ve been chairing the North Shields 800 group, who are organising the celebrations and we have an exciting year ahead. The Facebook page is now live – give it a follow to see what’s coming up.
The North Shields 800 website is also now live. North Shields 800
It features dozens of exciting events and projects, history resources and information about the town’s 800th anniversary celebrations during 2025.
Plans are in progress for community events, art installations, exhibitions, music performances, publications, podcasts, photography and film. There will be a spectacular regatta and a blessing of the fishing fleet, a parade along the Fish Quay, exhibitions, street art murals and heritage projects.
Social media accounts have been set up to keep people informed – follow North Shields 800 on Facebook and Instagram.
