Fool's Gold: The Blaydon Races
​
In 1903, William Irving painted his masterpiece ‘Blaydon Races’. It’s full of famous characters from Geordie folklore - Cushy Butterfield, Coffee Johnny, Nanny the Mazer and many more. This show tells their stories, and the tale of the Blaydon Races of 1862 through tales, brilliant projected visuals and live acoustic music.
Original and traditional songs mean that the audience can join in; with a night of fun, music and tall tales!
Fool’s Gold is an acoustic duo of Steve and Carol Robson. They have played hundreds of shows, bringing their infectious mixture of stories, live songs and images to audiences all over the UK - and beyond!

ALL WELCOME
Shrove Tuesday saw a big crowd of people of all ages coming along to church to enjoy pancakes. Our vicar, Rachael, worked hard, to freshly prepare each pancake. And very tasty they were too. Traditionally pancakes were a way of using up any rich foods that were not eaten during the season of Lent, which begins the following day, Ash Wednesday.
CAFÉ CHURCH
We meet 1st Sunday of the month. Time: 3:00 pm (Winter Time.) This is a short, very informal service for all ages held at Coquet Tea Rooms, Queen Street.
All Welcome.
Behold The Coat of Hopes
The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork coat that is on an ongoing walk through Britain. Made, worn and walked by hundreds of people during and since its pilgrimage from the south coast of England to COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow.
The Coat is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the place they call home. It carries an invitation to share our love and responsibility in facing this climate and ecological emergency.
​
The Coat of Hopes came here to Amble.
