Harbouring Histories - Quayside memories

Quay Arts, in partnership with Deadman, are seeking memories of Newport Quayside, with a focus on the period from 1870 to present day, to support the development of a brand new site specific theatre piece to premier at Quay Arts, Sep 2026.

We invite the public to learn about the Quay Arts Centre building and surrounds, then and now, and to share and collate their memories and knowledge which will inform a new free-to-view theatre piece, exploring those who worked the Quayside and area known locally as the 'Woas'.

Light refreshments and a friendly ear provided, along with opportunity to explore architects plans and local historical maps and ephemera linked to the Arts Centre.
