You’re invited to the next exhibition at The Heritage Gallery at Cargo Fleet: Royal Photographic Society

The exhibition will be open with free admission, 19th January – 20th February 2026, Monday – Friday, 8.30am – 4.45pm.

The official opening evening is on Thursday 22nd January, 5pm – 7pm, which offers a great opportunity to meet some of the photographers and ask any questions about the work on display. Drinks & nibbles will be provided by Iron Co Coffee House on behalf of Python Properties.

“The group started in 2015, when Gordon Bates, Harry Hall, Ed Forster, Tony Griffith and John Clarke met in the Cafe at The Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Since then, the group has gone from strength to strength with over 30 members to date.

Their aim is to encourage members to pursue documentary projects, whether it be historical, contemporary or more on a personal level, recording the world through their lens.

They participate in group projects and meet on the third Thursday of each month, in which they are encouraged to show their work and gain feedback from their fellow members.

With a diverse group of photographers that view the world uniquely  through their lens, we hope this will be an intriguing and captivating exhibition.

We do hope to see you at the opening and look forward to seeing you there!”
