- **Event Description**: We love hosting live music events at the Heritage Centre – and it’s great way to spend a sunny afternoon in the Courtyard having something to eat and drink while listening to live music.
 
So, join us for an informal afternoon of traditional music, led by Simon and other members of his ceilidh band, ‘Real to Reel’.
 
Expect Northumbrian pipes, fiddles, melodeons, and more, as some of the region’s top traditional musicians join forces to play some high energy jigs & reels, haunting slow airs and more foot-tapping tunes in between…
 
You may recognise Simon from his ‘Shore and Tide’ sea glass stall at our Meet the Makers events – but here he is with his other hat on, as a musician!
 
Our café will be open as usual with breakfasts, lunch, home baked scones, cakes, cookies and more.

No need to book, free event for our café customers.  Just turn up for a great afternoon of live music and food.

Please note indoor and outdoor seating areas are for our café and bar customers (please don’t bring your own drinks or food), all profits go to our charity Groundwork NE & Cumbria.
