The Late Shows 2026: Beneath the Surface

Full description

We are thrilled to once again to be part of the The Late Shows. For 2026, step inside our spectacular heritage building and immerse yourself in a bespoke mining soundscape that brings our region’s history to life. In an exciting partnership with Newcastle University, we are hosting a striking architectural installation that will take you on a journey into the lost future of coal mining, allowing you to discover our shared industrial heritage in a completely new way.

While you are exploring, be sure to get hands-on and enjoy some LEGO®. Finally, round off your evening downstairs in our 5|Quarter café bar, where you can grab a drink and join us for a brilliant sing-along!

We are proudly dog-friendly, so please feel free to bring your four-legged companions along on your culture crawl. We cannot wait to welcome you!
