It’s designed to give grassroots and start-up initiatives the confidence, experience and support to step into retail — and for community-led projects like ours, that support genuinely matters.

I Love North Shields Pop-Up Gallery Opens at the Globe Gallery North Shields, UK — I Love North Shields is proud to announce the opening of its first ever Pop-Up Gallery at the Globe Gallery, 53 Bedford Street, North Shields, NE29 0AT. The exhibition launches with an opening night on Wednesday 24 September 2025, showcasing photography created during the community’s very first #ILNSPhotowalkOne. Earlier this summer, around 30 people gathered at the Fish Quay — strangers at first, but united by a love of photography. What followed was a spark of creativity and connection, forming a new community that has since grown into something lasting. From those beginnings, the group successfully applied for funding through the North Shields 800 Community Grants Scheme, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. A £1,000 award allowed I Love North Shields to stage its debut exhibition.

Something for the weekend: Silverlink Park Local Nature Reserve

Tucked beside the A19 within Cobalt Business Park, Silverlink Park Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is an 18-hectare haven that showcases just how dramatically a landscape can be transformed. Once a former rubbish tip, the site was reshaped into a country park in 1996 and later awarded LNR status in 2005, recognising its remarkable biodiversity and growing ecological importance.
