Creating good food can be an art in itself and that's set to be proved in 2023 when local favourites - ranging from award-winning Tyneside chippies to ice cream shops - share the limelight in a new exhibition.
We don't need telling just how well off we are in the North East for quality food, including the likes of fresh fish caught off our coast, and now South Shields - with its proud reputation of the 'curry mile' - is to be celebrated in an exhibition which is one of a pick of 10 highlight new shows for 2023.
Others set to make their debut in and around Newcastle include a journey back to Ancient Egypt and the finding of Tutankhamun’s tomb; Pre-Raphaelite art and a unique interactive exhibition featuring myths and monsters.
