Let’s tell tales of the Fish Quay, some not told before,

Gather round to hear the stories washed up on this shore,

Tales brought here in bottles, stories from the quay,

Sagas from the fishing boats, legends from the sea.

This special evening, produced by Tyneside Cinema and Pinwheel, invites you to celebrate and share in stories of North Shields Fish Quay, told through film, music, photography and more. Join us for tales of the people, places and legends of this historic harbour and we’ll journey together through time and tide.
