Fenwick 140

Visit Fenwick Newcastle seven days a week throughout 2022 to explore the fascinating archival pieces in the dedicated exhibition before dropping into Café 140 to enjoy a show-stopping breakfast and weekend brunch, lunch dishes created from the finest ingredients, sumptuous cream teas and joyously nostalgic cakes and desserts.

Fenwick Newcastle have drawn inspiration from its founder - a dressmaker with a bold, entrepreneurial spirit whose creations always appealed to the modern woman and who reveled in a sense of theatre. Arthur Fenwick, son of founder John James Fenwick loved the circus and in particular the colour and courage of circus life which explains his sense of showmanship which he brought to his father's business. Combined with his father’s visionary understanding of how women wanted to shop, dress and live, Arthur’s originality created a special spirit at Fenwick that continues to inspire us, and our discerning shoppers, to enjoy the circus of life.
