Think Christmas, think Newcastle and Gateshead - where things get real festive. Get ready to shop for Christmas presents at fantastic shops in Eldon Square, indulge in award-winning restaurants and relax at accommodations to suit every budget. For the perfect festive getaway like no other, Newcastle and Gateshead have it all.
Enjoy the ever-popular annual Christmas traditions in Newcastle city centre, including the iconic Fenwick Newcastle's Christmas Window and in-store Christmas Shop. Stroll through the city, admire the twinkling lights, stalls and joyful atmosphere at the Christmas Markets and discover endless festive events waiting for you across the city.
When the shopping bags are full, and the Christmas carols are still ringing in your ears, sip on some mulled wine in our cosy pubs and dine at well-loved restaurants before you head back to your hotel for a snug stay.
It may be chilly in the city, but you’ll be wrapped in the real warmth of the people and the places that make visiting Newcastle and Gateshead at Christmas so special.
