Book a general admission ticket to find out what other dates the exhibition is open this month. The exhibition will uncover the Game Changers – individuals\, inventions and innovations – tied to the Institute throughout its now 170-year lifespan\, and will also look to the future of innovation in the North East. \nThe Game Changers anniversary festival has been made possible thanks to National Lottery Players\, via funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. \nTo find out more\, click here. \nAdditional information\nLocation: Wood Hall\, The Common Room\, Westgate Road\, Newcastle NE1 1SE \nChildren must be supervised at all times by a responsible adult. \nOur building is fully accessible – if you have any queries about accessibility\, please contact lucy.stockdale@thecommonroom.org.uk \nThe Common Room is taking a number of precautions to mitigate the risk to the public regarding COVID-19.
