80 years ago, Gosforth Central Hall was opened as a place for all the community to gather. It was built as a memorial to “remember the brave people of our town, who gave their lives whilst serving in Her Majesties Forces and the Merchant Navy in the 1939-1945 war”. It is now Gosforth Civic Theatre, who will work with groups of people with Learning Disabilities and Autism – in-house, in partner SEND schools, and in other local groups – to create a community performance piece using dance, physical theatre and song to celebrate this journey of freedom, to honour its past heritage then and celebrate where we are now.
