If you are staying at our bed and breakfast accommodation in South Shields between now and Saturday 3rd September 2016 then you may like to watch a new musical being performed at The Customs House theatre – ten minutes walk from our accommodation.
The Dolly Mixtures is a brand new musical by John Miles and Tom Kelly and it is being performed at The Customs House from today until Saturday 3rd September 2016.

For 15 years the eight South Shields women performed in working men’s clubs throughout the North-East to raise money for charity with every penny going to cancer research.
