*This special event is FULLY BOOKED*
Set high on the cliffs overlooking the North Sea, the magnificent Tynemouth Priory and Castle will be transformed into the most unique Groove dancefloor experience.
We'll come together to dance among medieval ruins of the 7th century Benedictine monastery, beneath the soaring arches and castle towers, where monks roamed and Saints were buried; a place that has witnessed the passage of kings, the ravages of Viking invasions, and been a military stronghold for centuries, protecting the Tyne.
This will not only be a memorable dance experience but also a connection to the stories embedded in the ruins. It is more than just a dance event; it's a celebration of heritage, community, and the timeless joy of dance and movement.
Groove Among the Ruins embodies English Heritage’s mission to open up historic spaces in creative, inclusive ways. By transforming Tynemouth Priory and Castle into a vibrant dance space, this experience invites people to connect with history through movement, creativity, and community. It brings new life to one of England’s treasured landmarks — proving that heritage can be dynamic, joyful, and truly alive.
