A SPECTACULAR LOCATION

The Stephenson Works, Newcastle upon Tyne

Building Palaces is a fantastical, music-filled event in one of Newcastle's hidden architectural gems, The Stephenson Works.

A group of musicians, actors and designers have been building their own palaces all summer long. They've built their palaces out of suitcases, whoopee cushions and even songs. Now they are ready to open the doors and welcome you in.

Take an unforgettable journey through The Stephenson Works, full of enchanting encounters with extraordinary palaces and the people who built them. You might even discover your own palace along the way!
