Live Music

Jazz Night with Archipelago

Archipelago formed in Newcastle/Gateshead in 2016 and consists of: Faye MacCalman (Composer, Saxophone, Clarinet, Synth, Vocals) John Pope (Bass, Effects) Christian Alderson (Drums, Percussion) Archipelago’s uncompromising ability to fit into one genre is a raw, fully charged musical experience. Their last album ‘Echoes To The Sky’ received 4 **** on its release and has been described as “original, evocative and at times, haunting music” by Kevin Le Gendre on BBC Radio 3. Supported by “BBC Introducing” and selected as “a highlight” from Latitude Festival for Tom Robinson’s BBC6 Music show, they were described as a “truly remarkable unit” by NARC Magazine. Faye MacCalman takes influence from artists ranging from Joni Mitchell to Don Cherry to PJ Harvey, creating shimmering waves of sound that change rapidly from one song to the next, as Archipelago move between instruments and electronic effects that create illusions of several musicians, before peeling back to their raw trio form.

Wellness & Wellbeing

Floating Sound Healing

Let stillness surround you, and sound gently guide you home to yourself. Sink into deep rest as you recline on a soft air bed, drifting just on the surface of warm, tranquil water. Wrapped in a blanket, head resting on a pillow, you’ll be gently held in a candlelit pool space — the atmosphere calm, quiet, and deeply nourishing. As you lie back and let go, the healing tones of crystal singing bowls fill the air, their vibrations rippling through water and body alike. Guided by a professional sound healer, this session combines the restorative properties of water, sound, and stillness to calm your nervous system, clear stagnant energy, and bring you back to balance. There’s no movement required — just breathe, receive, and allow yourself to be soothed. Open to all ages 16+ What to Expect: A warm indoor pool setting, softly lit with candles Air beds, blankets, and pillows for comfort and support Live sound healing with crystal singing bowls A guided, deeply restorative experience in a safe, held space What to Bring: Comfortable clothing (you’ll remain fully clothed — we recommend rolling up trousers) A towel and a change of clothes (just in case of splashes) A quiet mind or a restless one — both are welcome Car park, changing rooms, and waiting area on-site. This is a chance to truly pause — to rest not just the body, but the mind and spirit. Slow down. Be held. Let the sound do the work. Spaces are limited to maintain an intimate, peaceful environment.
