About Wintertide Festival
‘Creating with the community’
Wintertide is an independent community festival which takes place in and around the streets on the Hartlepool Headland, a coastal town steeped in history, heritage, culture and folklore.
Currently Live - The first in a series of ‘Hartlepool Monkey Homecoming’ Films 'Magical Monkey Mischief' - Gyre & Gimble, Fuel & Northern School Of Art students.
Created, in November 2020, in response to the letters written to the monkey by pupils from Throston Primary, Eldon Grove Academy, St Aidan’s, St Helen’s and St Teresa’s Primary Schools.
“When you go to bed to sleep, the Hartlepool monkeys come out and cause some mischief… Filmed in self-isolation, Magical Monkey Mischief brought to life the voices of primary school children with their own versions of the magical legend and the mischief that happens in our own homes.” (Team OG, 3rd Year Acting Students, The Northern School of Art)
