What's on in New York

New York in Tyne and Wear has a quiet charm that goes straight to the heart. The Stephenson Railway Museum keeps steam engines chugging along without needing an espresso shot to get moving. It's the sort of place where history waits for you with a cup of tea rather than a selfie stick. Family days out are easy to find when the railway is running on time. You can walk off the museum and onto the high street before lunch is even finished. Near Here keeps track of what's going on so you don't have to hunt through paper maps or old timetables.
