Gateshead Creative Crawl Trick or Treat 2025

A Halloween Trail of Art, Community and Discovery

The Trick or Treat Creative Crawl 2025 will transform Gateshead town centre into a playful Halloween trail of art, workshops, and discovery. Across the week before Halloween, visitors will explore 13 bespoke artist-designed booths, each offering collectible postcards, heritage stamps and a bottom-shelf Treat Library open to everyone. A printed and digital trail map will guide families, creatives, and curious visitors through shops, cultural venues, and community spaces, strengthening local pride and leaving a lasting legacy.

This event is part of Project Play – a Gateshead Council initiative celebrating creativity and play, supported by NECA. Project Play runs from Saturday 25 October - Saturday 1 November across Gateshead. View the full ProjectPlay programme below!
