Coast and

countryside

It’s not all about the city; unspoilt

beaches and wonderful countryside

are just a short journey by Metro.

The attractive coastal towns of

Tynemouth and Whitley Bay offer

everything from unspoilt golden

beaches to surf lessons and fish

and chips by the sea. The World

Heritage Sites of Hadrian’s Wall,

Northumberland National Park

and Durham Castle and Cathedral

are also just a short journey by

train or bus.

Art and culture

The city has numerous theatres and

art galleries, including the Theatre

Royal which hosts some of the

biggest national productions by the

Royal Shakespeare Company, the

National Theatre and Opera North.

The University campus also houses

the North East’s largest producing

theatre company – Northern Stage.

The city’s art galleries and museums

range from ancient history to

modern art, including the traditional

Laing, the refurbished Hatton on

campus and impressive BALTIC,

a converted flour mill on the banks

of the River Tyne.

Why we love

Newcastle...

city and its international vibe is

reflected in the range of restaurants

and bars. You won’t need to worry

about missing food from home as

Newcastle loves the movies.

More than 20 screens in the city

centre show everything from

Hollywood blockbusters to global

art-house classics.

Academy, host

some of the most famous names in

rock and pop from across the globe.

Folk, classical and jazz concerts

regularly take place at Sage

Gateshead, with smaller venues right

across the city including The Cluny

and Cumberland Arms catering for

an array of independent musical

tastes.

Shopping

Newcastle is a premier shopping

destination with high-street names

and boutique brands available

at Eldon Square, one of the UK’s

largest city-centre malls. Combine

this with a bustling indoor market,

independent shops and a range

of global food stores all just a few

minutes’ walk from the University

campus. It’s no wonder that

Newcastle is often referred

to as a ‘shoppers paradise’.

identity and you can see a range

of great sport in the city including
