The legendary Olde Cross is a gorgeous, community owned pub that really feels like the beating heart of Ryton Village. Our Circles will be nestled in the cosy nook, bathed in the beautiful light that filters through the trees on the green just outside the window.

About the host
Hi, I'm Bridie (She/Her)
I can't wait to welcome you to a circle soon!
I am a Tyne Valley native, an enthusiastic reader, writer, singer and scranner. When asked about my hobbies, my husband once told a new acquaintance that I like TV. I couldn’t deny it.
MotherFolk circles held me as I grew into my motherhood. A warm space to reflect and realise was exactly what I needed and I’m so excited to hold that space for the mother folk of the Tyne Valley.
Frequently asked questions
We leave this purposefully open. Some mothers come with newborns, while others come with babies who are much more mobile, and others don't bring children at all! Whether your child has just been born or is a grown up - you're welcome at the circle. Feel free to contact your circle holder if you have questions or worries about how writing will work with your baby/child there!
