When we first entered Unit 51, in the heart of the Baltic Triangle, we were drawn down by the prospect of a new cafe to get comfortable in, some excellent coffee and of course the excellent Baltic Creative , home to many creative businesses doing some great work in the area.
Baltic Creative will be an important venue during Threshold as it plays host to a whole host of Spark workshops and panels.The little wooden space adjacent to the espresso bar where once an army of paper figurines lived during the Bienniel (Was it that long ago?!) will feature sessions with Viva Vintage, a Demo Panel from Sound City,Cavern Records and Ultimate Fake, Philanthropy in Music and much more over the weekend.
But we know what will really get your appetites going and it's the food that will be on offer to all those hungry festival goers! Yes, we've got a preview of the menu and it's below.
Pulled Pork and Spicy Slaw on a soft baton
Unit 51 Hot Dog and Caramelized Onion
Special Chilli with a choice of Rice or Jacket Potato
Soup of the Day accompanied with French Corner Bread
So who's planning on being at Unit 51 during Threshold? We know one thing, we will definitely be in for one of the above and an excellent Unit 51 Cappuccino.
