Newcastle hosts ‘Road to Wembley’ exhibition commemorating Carabao Cup victory
Newcastle United’s lengthy pursuit of domestic trophies came to a close last season when the team claimed the Carabao Cup – and the club celebrated this monumental achievement with a unique exhibition that illustrated their journey to triumph. ‘The Road to Wembley’, held at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in partnership with VERSUS, provided fans an engaging, documentary-style recounting of the Magpies’ cup victory. The display showcased over 100 images taken by club photographers Serena Taylor, Harriet Massey, and Michelle Mercer, each reflecting meaningful moments from the campaign. Attendees also enjoyed visual presentations, contributions from fan group Wor Flags, and a rare opportunity to pose next to the Carabao Cup trophy itself. The opening event featured a discussion with curators Ewen Spencer and Jimmy Turrell, along with Newcastle icon Rob Lee, before festivities continued into the evening with a DJ performance. The highlight of the narrative, of course, was Newcastle’s 2-1 win against Liverpool in the final – clinched by Alexander Isak’s crucial goal. With the Swede currently expressing a desire for a transfer to Liverpool, the exhibition might have unintentionally served as his own goodbye tour – a reminder that while heroes may not always remain, the memories (and the trophy) will endure.
