12 Shots. One Story. A New Photo Walk with WoeMan and I Love North Shields

Saturday 28 November 2026 | Longsands, North Shields

We're delighted to announce a new photography walk, this time in collaboration with WoeMan, the outdoor community founded by photographer and creative director Alex Wright.

And this one comes with a little challenge!

If you remember the days of film photography, you'll know that every photograph counted. You couldn't take hundreds of pictures, delete the ones you didn't like and start again.

So we're bringing a little of that thinking back.

The idea is simple. Just 12 photographs. No deleting!

We'll meet at Longsands for a coffee and a chat before heading out along the Fish Quay, onto the promenade and finishing at Tynemouth Priory and Castle.

Along the way, Alex will encourage everyone to slow down, look a little closer and think about what they want to capture before pressing the shutter.

It might be the light falling across an old building, someone going about their day, a little detail you've never noticed before or simply a moment that makes you stop.

At the end of the walk, everyone will be invited to choose their favourite photograph and share a few words about why they took it. We'll bring these together into a collection of photographs and stories to share with both communities.

Everyone is welcome

Our I Love North Shields photo walks are a chance to get outdoors, explore our surroundings, meet new people and enjoy a bit of company.

Some people come with professional cameras, others with their phones. Some have been taking photographs for years, while others are just starting out.

It really doesn't matter.

We're particularly looking forward to bringing the WoeMan and I Love North Shields communities together, welcoming familiar faces and meeting some new ones along the way.

You don't need any experience, and there's no pressure to complete the whole walk. Just come along and enjoy yourself.
