Blackfriars history tour plague experience NG

Venture into the shadows of Blackfriars for an unforgettable evening where centuries of rich history collide with the cinematic world of 28 Years Later, filmed right here in Newcastle.

Begin your night with a zombie-themed cocktail on arrival, before enjoying a delicious three-course set dinner and coffee in Blackfriars’ historic dining room – the oldest of its kind in the UK. Then, join an expert guide for a 45-minute torch-lit tour through the darkened corridors and cloisters of this 13th-century former Dominican friary.

Uncover spine-tingling tales of plague, panic and survival as fiction and fact blur within the Grade I-listed surroundings. From medieval monks to modern-day mayhem, this immersive storytelling experience is packed with character, chaos and centuries of grit.

A chilling and atmospheric journey through time – with great food and drink along the way.
