Discovery Nights: Unplugged

6pm - 9pm

£10 + booking fee. Booking advised as places are limited.  

For adults 

Discovery Nights are after-hours events for discerning adults offering fresh perspectives on the world around you.

Relax, unwind and come along to Discovery Museum after-hours for a break from screens, distractions and the daily grind. 

Our digital detox evening for over 18s will give you time to read, draw, write, craft and listen with like-minded people. With a bar, chilled-out music and a host of non-digital activities on offer, there’s never been a better time to ditch your phone and make real connections.

Featuring: 

• A sound bath in the gallery – with crystal and Himalayan singing bowls for sensory immersion with blankets and eye masks 
• Discover and even try a ‘red list’ heritage craft - bobbin lacemaking with Northumbria Lacemakers
• Explore material from Tyne & Wear Archives  
• Join pub style quizzes in the cafe bar – with prizes too
• Bookmark stamping – make yourself a new bookmark to take home
• Mindful colouring – using material from The National Archives as inspiration  
• Self-led sketching of clothing from the costume store  
• Junk modelling, using everyday materials – and try out the Climate Change: It’s In Our Hands board game 
• Book swap – bring up to five books to trade   
• Vintage board games – be present with old-school board games for giggles and silliness 
• Bar and food available in the cafe.

Embrace a digital detox vibe in this after-hours evening of mindfulness with a museum twist.
