The Word, National Centre for the Written Word is South Tyneside's state-of-the-art cultural venue which has a lot to offer! The building is brimming with exciting new experiences, activities and facilities for people of all ages to engage and enjoy. From the Digital Media Wall, to the FabLab - there is also an impressive, immersive storytelling experience in StoryWorld which hosts regular events over school holidays as well as interactive touch-tables, telescopes, Kids' Activity Area, Creative Play Area and a Gaming Zone. There is also a Shop/Visitor Information Centre and a Café. The building is home to 70,000 books as well as OpenZone, who provide digital learning and ICT to schools during term time. At its core The Word celebrates the written word in all its forms through a rolling programme of events, exhibitions and workshops and it also aims to become a home for north-east writers.
The word was built to replace a non descript library and has done it in style. On three floors, it’s far from just a place to read books. It is smart and clean, has a cafe, shop, places for exhibitions, (currently an all age friendly Monster show), groups meet there and there’s activities throughout the year. Our visit today was to see a friends first screening of a book he’d written turned into a film. It took place in the third floor Round room on the 3rd floor, lifts are available. It was ideal for this showing with a large screen and two wall mounted large TVs. The Word is worth a visit for a number of reasons.
