Wintertide Festival features three days of large-scale light installations, a community parade, art trails, performances, pop-up exhibitions, artisan market, live music and more. The biannual event returns to the Headland this year from November 21-23

Its theme is Constellations and is a tribute to the connections, creativity and unity that make Wintertide special.

The event is led by Hartlepool-based directors Emma Wheetman, Vicky Jackson and Rachel Laycock, who are passionate about using arts and culture to connect and uplift the local community.
