Factory Nights is a series of inspiring working sessions for ANY visual artists, photographers, writers, poets, musicians, filmmakers and any other creatives! Factory Nights is not a discussion event, seminar or even a workshop. Factory Nights are free evening sessions that simply provide an opportunity for creative people to come together in an interesting venue and supportive environment to make work or initiate ideas. Artists can come to the sessions with something they have been working on or could start something brand new, inspired by the space. Factory Nights is supported by Arts Council England, North Tyneside Council and Sunniside Partnership, Sunderland.This venue for the third Factory Night is a five-storey high rooftop football pitch offering a unique opportunity to experience amazing views of North Tyneside and the mouth of the river Tyne. This building was built in 1938 by the Sir James Knott Trustees to provide accommodation and financial support for the establishment of the Sir James Knott Youth Centre in North Shields.
