St Mary's Lighthouse: Its a special space to watch a film and in fact dictates the dates of our festival each year (tide wise) !
The screenings take place in the room on the first floor, to the side of the tower (not in the tower itself). Access is via a flight of stairs. Unfortunately there is no disabled access to our screenings in this venue.
The venue is not a traditional screening space. It seats around 45 and gets quite warm...
Care must be taken when leaving the island across the causeway,in the dark. Staff are there to assist if required.
We find that the option of ordering fish and chips at a Lighthouse screening is very popular If you'd like to order fish and chips (some Lighthouse events only) please arrive at the stated 'doors opening' time. Pantrinis deliver the orders during the screening (we try and be descreet when alerting you in the dark, so choosing side aisle seats would help us greatly with this).
We'd like to thank Adam Kelsey (Lighthouse manager) for his continued support with these screenings over the years. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE/ Please let us know in advance if you need wheelchair access or have limited mobility.
Seaton Delaval Hall is one of the most important historic houses and designed landscapes in Britain. This Grade 1 listed building was designed by renowned 18th century playwright and architect Sir John Vanburgh, who also designed Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard. Seaton Delaval Hall was the theatrical backdrop for one of the most notorious of all Georgian families. The Delaval family were famous for their love of acting, hosting big parties and playing wild tricks.Since acquiring the Hall in 2009 with the help and support of people in the North East, the National Trust has worked hard to keep the doors open and make it a safe and enjoyable place to visit. The National Trust are now working with Heritage Lottery Fund, donors and supporters to raise a further £7.8m to carry out urgent conservation work, create a new café and toilet facilities, restore elements of the designed landscape and bring to life the stories of the Delavals through theatricality and play.
