The Ocean Road venue is hosting the free wellness sessions to celebrate the arrival of Pierre Mignard's The Marquise de Seignelay (1691) as part of the National Gallery’s Masterpiece Tour.

The wellness sessions will vary but visitors will have the opportunity to take part in things such as meditation, a Qigong class or a movement to art session.

The sessions at the South Shields Museum & Art Gallery are free to get involved in but must be booked prior to the dates.

Each session has a capacity for only 10 people so early booking is advised.
