Thursday 24 November 2022 Mayoral Visit On Thursday afternoon, we had the honour of a visit from the Mayor and Mayoress of Carlisle. They came with their special ceremonial chains, sword and mace which we were even allowed to touch and hold. It was incredible to be holding such impressive and historical artefacts – the mace, made of gold, dates back to King Charles I who gifted it to Carlisle. The Mayor told us all about his job of Mayor and what he has to do and explained his role in chairing meetings with the council, as well as all the nice things they get to do like switching on the Christmas lights.

Just standing outside The Baltic Centre (unfortunately in the rain!) we were able to see several different bridge designs, the high-tech style of The Sage, modern additions to The Baltic’s factory façade and everything in between. Inside The Baltic, we really enjoyed the glass lift which enabled us to look out over the Tyne while whizzing skywards! The size and scale of The Baltic is incredible and there were so many places were the space changed from low ceilings to high vaulted rooms, some even with glass ceilings that made us look up and say “Wow!” At first, we had an explore of an exhibition using different mixed and multimedia techniques to look at environmental themes. It was really interactive, including a space whe
