Lime Tree Open Studios
Explore the wealth of creative talent over five floors of our beautiful listed building, 36 Lime Street. Immerse yourself in one of Newcastle's most vibrant cultural communities for one weekend only Spring 2025.

The former flax mill and original Ouseburn studio space is opening over five floors with 20 creatives showing their work as part of Ouseburn Open Studios. Chat with the artists about their processes and materials: art, design, jewellery, glass, furniture, architecture, music, printmaking, painting, pottery, textiles and more!
Buy direct! You can commission items as well as buy “off the wall”.
Most makers now take debit/credit cards (but best to arm yourselves with some cash!).
