Arrive at Central Station and head straight to The Centurion for a pint or a glass of wine in one of the city’s most unique pubs and what's more; they’ve recently been crowned one of the best in the country for a Guinness by the Harp Guide. From there, either head straight to your hotel or swing by Tickets for cocktails inspired by The Flying Scotsman, all aboard! 

To keep those good vibes going, enjoy two-course dining and prosecco for two at Banyan. With gorgeous decor and an unmatched location (you’ll immediately spy Grey’s Monument upon arrival) this spot is guaranteed to get you in the mood for a long weekend in Newcastle! 

Afterwards, we highly recommend a visit to Tyneside Cinema for a late-night movie. Newcastle’s oldest independent cinema is steeped in history and is a cinephile's dream location to enjoy a special screening of “Wuthering Heights” to round out your first day.
