North Tyneside Ukelele Festival makes its North Shields debut!

North Tyneside Ukelele Festival is being staged in North Shields for the first time. The three-day event is hosted at the Exchange 1856 in the heart of North Shields Cultural Quarter on 8 and 9 November, with the final day at The Globe music venue in Newcastle on 10 November.

Tickets are still available.

It features international quality acts, workshops on ukulele techniques, open mic slots, singalongs and retail stands. The festival is organised by Cullercoats-based Bay Uke which has more than 80 members and has been running for a decade. Established in 2018, this is the fifth time the festival has been held and the move to North Shields was made possible with a grant from North Shields Cultural Quarter Projects and Events Fund.

You can get access to the full Festival for £30 or pick and choose; Friday only (£20), Saturday only (£20) or just the Friday Night Concert (£15) or the Saturday Night Concert (£15). Your choice. We have NINE workshops across the two days. These are at an ADDITIONAL COST.

The NTUF24 Songbook is better than ever! The theme this year is "One-Hit Wonders" and we have some belters for you!

On the 11th November (Sunday) we move camp to The Globe, Newcastle upon Tyne for a further afternoon of fun.
