To celebrate the return of GIFT to Gateshead, The Six Twenty are hosting an informal and welcoming edition of their The Breakfast Club (location in Gateshead soon to be announced).
​
Spend time together with fellow creatives, hatching some plans and making new connections over a cuppa and a bite.
If you joined GIFT for their morning Riverside Route walk you'll also be invited to share your experiences from the trail. You can find out more about Riverside Routes here.

Join us at anytime from 12pm and stay for as little as it takes to grab a coffee or as long as it takes to smash an avocado.

About The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club is a get together for creative freelancers and arts workers hosted by The Six Twenty. It happens roughly every three months, with every other club taking place online.
​
It's a space to come together and get inspired over a spot of brekkie before the working day begins. We're a friendly welcoming bunch and there's usually a few new people and a few regulars at each meet up.
