Been to see this beauty today at Seaton Delaval Hall. Seemed appropriate for the first day of lighter evenings.

Great to sit in on a teacher peer learning session as part of @northeastmuseums.bsky.social Cultural Match project, commissioned by North East Combined Authority. Giving #ECTs confidence to partner with artists and cultural orgs. Love that I still get to see these teachers grow in my new job!

My name is Mel and I’m becoming obsessed with cinema themed dressing… Elphaba green dress with Glinda lips for Wicked (which is phenomenal, by the way)
