A North East arts project is set to mark its tenth anniversary with an evening full of music, performance and art later this month.

The Fire Station in Sunderland will play host to The Cultural Spring and a catalogue of arts events funded by Arts Council England on November 20.

From 6pm, creatives including doorstep poet Rowan McCabe, who has led regular poetry workshops for The Cultural Spring as well as delivering Doorstep Poetry project will perform as well as We Make Culture, who will perform songs from their Cultural Spring Bitesize show Sweet Caroline and the Football Boots.

The premiere of a specially-made tenth anniversary film, created by Newcastle-based production company Candle & Bell, will also be part of the evening, while a tenth anniversary magazine, tracking the project’s decade of success, will also be distributed.

The Cultural Spring director Emma Horsman said: “We’re really excited about our tenth anniversary celebration and I’m grateful to our producer Posy Jowett for pulling the night together so expertly.

“We’ve worked with so many great people, venues, groups and organisations over the last decade and we’re delighted that so many of them will be represented – or performing – on November 20.

“Come along for a night out that remembers all the brilliant things from the last ten years, and join us to raise a glass as we look ahead to the future!”
