Fancy a wander through the burgeoning art laden streets of Newcastle, with accompanied talks by artists who have done work in the city? Well, heres your chance.

Through the wonderful efforts of the people at SAW (Street Art Walking) and the amazing Renew Newcastle movement, residents and visitors will have the opportunity this coming Friday to do just that, with the Winter Wander event. It looks like a lot of fun, and informative to boot.

“Your invitation to rug up and get toasty walking the city streets together: be the first to hear about the latest Renew Newcastle projects, and discover a little more about the creative culture which is enlivening the city.

It’s free, everyone’s invited and tasty warming winter treats (ie. hot chocolate, mulled wine, sticky date pudding, birthday cake & more) are on offer along the way!”

The tour will include:
