Britain's What's On Event Guide
Stories of the Stones: St Johns Cemetery, Elswick
Heritage Open Day: Find out more about the Stories of the Stones Project - an arts, nature and heritage exploration of St Johns & Westgate Hill Cemeteries, Elswick. Cemeteries are community touchstones and, over the past 18 months, the Stories of the Stones Project has worked volunteers from the local community, alongside creative practitioners to begin unearthing the many stories held by the two sites. Come along to St John's (Elswick) Cemetery for a rare chance to gain entry to the gothic chapels and enjoy the creative responses and research that our volunteer group have uncovered. Drop in to meet the group; find out how to research your family history and how to go about finding a grave; experience poetry performed that is inspired by the stories and photographic images created by the inspiration of the natural environment of St John's.
