Two weeks of free-to-access parade workshops in puppetry, costume, masks and more! Followed by a community parade on Northumberland Street in the centre of Newcastle.
Toon Underground will explore the unseen and undiscovered places of Newcastle, its hidden nature and eco-system, and the ways in which we connect. We are looking for participants from all ages, backgrounds and abilities to work alongside our team of professional puppet artists and take part in a spectacular parade through Newcastle city centre.
Calling all North East residents - get involved!
