What's on in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne sits right where the river meets the sea and punches well above its weight for things to do. The Great North Museum: Hancock keeps you busy with exhibits that make grown-ups gasp, while Laing Art Gallery hangs pictures that stop traffic in its tracks. You can even wander into The Northumberland & Durham Family History Society if you fancy tracing your roots over a cup of tea. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
