What’s on? Events in and around the toon

We might be looking at the end of summer, but there are a ton of events happening in and around Newcastle, Gateshead and the North East. If you’re looking for something to do, or you need a new idea for date night, check out some of these awesome events and venues.

At the time of writing, these events are running. However, we’d encourage anyone interested to check out the venues and events in advance, as covid restrictions may result in cancellations.

For an outdoor date night: The Cumberland Arms

Feeling a bit worried about heading indoors? That’s not a problem at the Cumberland. Over lockdown they’ve been running events on their terrace, with everything from classical concerts, to rock music, to comedy and poetry. They release their events at the beginning of each month, and there really is plenty to choose from; perfect for changing up your date night.

If you’d like to book for an event at the Cumberland, drop them an email at cumbybookings@gmail.com. Events vary in price, but The Cumberland does run ‘pay as you feel’ events on occasion.

For those missing a festival: This Is Tomorrow

If the past couple of summers you’ve been desperate to hear some live music, Newcastle has got you covered. This Is Tomorrow is a three day festival running from Friday 17th September to Sunday 19th September in Exhibition Park. Over the three dates, they have artists like Sam Fender, Pale Waves, Dermot Kennedy, Bugzy Malone, Gerry Cinnamon and The Kooks. 

You can book tickets on their website, which are £49 for the day or £129 for the weekend. There is also a special event on Thursday 16th September, This Is For The NHS. All profits from this event go towards Newcastle and Northumbria NHS.

For when the heavens open: Bobiks

If you’re looking for a date night that isn’t weather dependent, or you’re just sick of sitting outside, Bobiks is a great little venue which hosts everything from music, comedy, theatre, cinema, pottery and even guitar workshops. They have some great events coming up in September, including songwriter and rap artist Kay Greyson, art rock collective Dilettante, and comedian Lauren Pattinson. 

Book tickets on the Bobiks website, and then head to the Punch Bowl Hotel in Jesmond for your event. Make sure you leave time for a pint!

For those wanting some history: Gateshead History Festival

From the 9th to the 23rd September, Gateshead Libraries are running the Gateshead History Festival, with a ton of different events for you to choose from. Expect talks from debut novelists and researchers, on topics such as Women of Tyneside in the Second World War, The Lives of Manuscripts and Their Makers, African Lives in Northern England and even guided walks around graveyards in Gateshead.

You can purchase tickets from Gateshead Libraries eventbrite. Most events are between £3 and £5, and you can get a discount if you attend a couple of the events.

The Transcendit Way

Transcendit understand that when you choose to work with us, whether we're taking care of your IT, app or web development, you're trusting us with part of your business. So whether we're looking after your computers, phone systems or servers we always do things 'the Transcendit way'.

The whole of our team adhere to the same values, beliefs and policies - the principles that were written when Transcendit first formed in 2000. Whether you come to us for cloud services or recovery backup you can be confident that you'll always receive the same excellent service.

The Transcendit way outlines how we do business; following the same straightforward principles with every client and customer, regardless of how big or small they may be.

That means we get to know you and your business. We offer you a friendly, professional and efficient service, and we'll always be honest with you.
We understand that not everybody speaks fluent IT, so we try to explain things in a way that is simple and clear. We always spend as much time as is necessary explaining things to you.
If you need to talk to us about something, no matter how insignificant, we are only ever a phone call away – and we’re never too busy to make you a cup of tea and have a sit down with you in person.
We understand how frustrating it can be when things are late. When we schedule an appointment with you, we are there when you’re expecting us. If something prevents us from getting there, we always call you in advance to let you know.
Sometimes things can go wrong, but we never lie to you or try to cover something up. If things go askew we tell you what’s happened and how we plan to prevent it affecting your business.
We want you to continuously benefit from working with us. We regularly discuss your business and make suggestions for improving systems and processes wherever we can – but we never try to push you into a purchase.
When we quote a fixed price, that's always the amount we charge – you won’t find any nasty surprises on a bill from us. If you are paying by time and materials, we inform you if our approximations could change.
We understand the importance of privacy for your business and your customers. We respect the confidentiality of your data, and we will never pass on your information to third parties.
We appreciate it when you take the time to give us feedback. A system called CustomerSure records our client's responses, so you can trust that our reviews are from real people.

The service from Transcendit is beyond first class. Every time i have had to use it, all staff have been so patient and helpful with me as i am the antithesis of tech savvy. I have expressed my satisfaction with our factory leaders Jim and Steve and had asked them to pass on my sincere thanks for your help. Aaron today was exceptional at walking me through the pre-migration process from Citrix to Azure. I wish all companies that I deal with provided this first class service.
