Welcoming community

When it comes to relocating from outside of the UK or the region, the first places many people may think of will be the likes of London, Birmingham, Manchester or the South Coast. Newcastle goes under the radar a little, but we don’t agree with that.

It’s true what they say about Geordies – you’ll struggle to find a friendlier or more welcoming community!

As well as a buzzing, upbeat atmosphere around the city and entire region, Newcastle has incredible landmarks and monuments, a thriving arts and culture scene and lots of activities to keep you occupied.

We’re famed for our vibrant nightlife, but it’s just a small part of what this glorious city has to offer. Explore more using the links below.
