Following its debut success, which attracted more than 800 visitors, the social event Let’s Caper@Baltic is busily planning its next outing for July with a new mix of local entertainers and international twists ranging from Middle Eastern cuisine to samba dancing.
The monthly evening showcase of live music, comedy, dance and food and drink pop-ups - which was originally called The Great Market Caper - took on a new name when it moved from its original home in Newcastle's Grainger Market across the Tyne to Baltic art gallery. And its first event there, in June, proved a huge success, says organiser Sean Bullick.
Sean, who runs the Caper through his company More Than This Events Ltd, said: "We saw a crowd of over 800 people of all nationalities, ages and backgrounds eating, dancing, laughing and singing along together - what could be better?" The night included vintage stalls, art, showings of retro cartoons in the Baltic cinema and jazz piano sessions in a chill-out zone on the fifth floor.
