Laurels is named after and in honour of Stan Laurel, whose father ran theatres on the North East coast, where he first tread the boards.
Founded by award-winning theatre producer Jamie Eastlake and writer and filmmaker Stephen Robertson, Laurels aims to provide a hub for artists and tapas lovers alike along the North East coast.
With live theatre, visual arts and comedy coming to life in their theatre space, and tapas doing the rounds in their bar - they aim to bring the folk of the bay together - allowing everyone an opportunity to access art and great food in a chilled out, accessible space.
