Hut on the Green, Gosforth Central Park, Newcastle upon Tyne (2026)

Set to open its doors in September 2024, this innovative space will be a vibrant hub for creative expression and cultural enrichment. At The Hut on the Green, we envision a place where poeople from all walks of life can come together to explore, learn, and create. Our mission is to provide a diverse range of talks, classes, workshops, and cultural events that will not only benefit the local Gosforth community but also serve as a catalyst for personal growth and community connection.

We’re really excited to have our Introduction to Dressmaking course starting this June.

It’s a 6-week course designed for complete beginners — the sort of class for people who have always fancied learning to sew but maybe never quite known where to start.

Over the course, we will guide you through everything step by step. You’ll learn how to use a sewing machine properly, how commercial sewing patterns actually work, and how to turn flat pieces of fabric into clothes you can genuinely wear. By the end of the course you’ll have made your own pyjama bottoms and a jersey T-shirt — which feels pretty magic when you think about it.

We have sewing machines here at the HUT, although if you already own one you’re welcome to bring it along and learn on your own machine. The first session will also cover choosing fabrics and patterns, where to buy them, and all the bits that can feel slightly overwhelming when you first start out.

Honestly, there’s something really satisfying about learning to make your own clothes. Once you start understanding how garments are put together, you never quite look at clothes in the same way again.

A word of warning before signing up for this one… making your own clothes can become very addictive!

What a day at 🔥

Hosted by , the FIRESTARTER event brought together creatives who teach — diving into why we teach and who we’re here for.

A day full of big ideas, honest conversations, and exciting plans for what’s next!

We’ve got a lot in the works… watch this space!

Thanks so much to Patricia for venturing up North to bring the spark to light our fires! 🔥 (she certainly did that!)

We’re really excited to be hosting at our HUT.

They will be running a Fire Starter event — a one-day gathering for creatives who teach. People who run workshops, courses, or programmes and are starting to ask deeper questions about their teaching.

It’s not a course on how to teach, or how to market what you do. It’s a day to step back. To reflect on WHY you teach, WHAT you teach, and what you really want it to become.

Through a series of guided exercises and conversations, you’ll have time to think properly about your teaching practice. To explore what makes learning genuinely creative and transformative. And to consider how your teaching can feel more aligned with who you are now, and where you want to go next.

It’s also about connection — being in a room with other thoughtful, experienced creative teachers, all doing that same piece of work. There’s a lot of value in that shared space.

This feels like a natural extension of what we’re building here at HUT on the Green. So much of what happens here is about more than just learning a skill — it’s about the experience, connection, and creating something meaningful. That applies just as much to the people teaching as it does to those attending.

This event is about supporting that next layer — helping creative teachers develop their practice in a way that feels thoughtful and intentional

By the end of the day, there will be lots of new ideas, fresh energy, and a clearer sense of direction — as well as something tangible to take forward.

We’re keeping it small (just 20 places) so book soon if you are keen to come.

We’re really looking forward to this one — it will be a special day.

Watch this space for the results!
