Beer and Carols
2022-12-17 01:00 - 19:00 | Saltburn, Saltburn
A Christmas in Saltburn, The Beer & Carols Christmas Market comes to town!
Saltburn’s musician, Minister Keith, brought beer and carols to Signals, Saltburn last year and it was so successful that this year it’s going to be for the whole town!
“We’ve been running Beer & Carols for over six years in the Midlands – they still ask us back every year – and now that we live here, we wanted to get the town singing! It’s a family event and a great tradition at Christmas. Everyone can sing a carol, whether you think you are musical or not!
People see other people singing and think they can’t do it. But community singing, whether in pubs or churches, shanties on ships or for sport, has been around for hundreds of years and allows everyone to take part.
Carols have a way of getting people into the Christmas spirit and singing together in the centre of town only enhances that. Remember the film Elf? We are hoping that this becomes a Saltburn tradition.”
The day will include arts, food, a market which starts at 10am and of course great local beer.

'Eyes of the Heart' - A Photographic Journey
2023-03-30 08:30 - 2023-04-21 15:00 | The Heritage Centre, Cargo Fleet Offices, Middlesbrough Road, TS6 6XJ
Celine Alexander-Brown’s photography gallery ‘Eye of the Heart’ is coming to the Cargo Fleet Heritage Gallery.
Celine’s journey began with flowers and nature, including macro photography and focus stacking, seeing the minuscule detail and miracle of each single flower. This in turn, because of the beauty of nature, drew her deeper and led her to the spiritual beauty of churches and cathedrals.
The next part of Celine’s journey led her to beauty of a different kind, hidden in the slums and streets of Kolkata, Celine took some fascinating photographs, capturing moments of time within the community of Kolkata, some of which form part of this exhibition.
And then Lockdown arrived… isolated and at home, Celine took part in a book project involving members of the RPS Contemporary North group about what 2020 meant to her.
Once lockdown had lifted, Celine started to venture out and went onto publishing two books – ‘Restless Waters’, which are poems/prayers and reflections of her journey over the past 20 years and also – ‘Eyes of the Heart’, a photobook of the images she took during her time in Kolkata.
Celine had now entered a new phase of her photographic journey interpreting things creatively using Photoshop and intentional camera movement, returning once again to nature, countryside and seaside.
We do hope you can make it to the opening, which offers a great opportunity to meet Celine over drinks & nibbles and ask any questions you may have about the work on display.
Private viewing: Thursday 30th March 2023, 5pm – 7pm
