Film buffs have entertainment with a side of popcorn in NewcastleGateshead with a choice of cinemas. From the epic 3D IMAX cinema and entertainment complex at Metrocentre Qube in Gateshead to the independent and cosy Jam Jar Cinema in Whitley Bay and the beautiful art-deco Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle, one of the oldest surviving newsreel cinemas. In Newcastle city centre, head for The Gate, where you’ll find a multiplex cinema or relax at Everyman Cinema which shows mainstream, independent films and classic blockbusters as well as serving you food at your seat! Often during the warmer months, enjoy outdoor cinema experiences at venues including the Alnwick Castle, Times Square and for free in the centre of Newcastle thanks to NE1’s Screen on the Green.
Be entertained by large scale and mind-blowing performance at seasonal events like Kynren or let go to heart-thumping live music and DJ nights at Wylam Brewery at Palace of Arts in Exhibition Park.
Choose your competitors wisely for a round of crazy golf at Mr Mulligan’s Space Golf or the slightly racier, Ghetto Golf in Hoults Yard, Ouseburn! Keep a cool head at Escape Key beside Chinatown and test your wits in one of the ultimate panic rooms in Newcastle – each challenge has a unique and local twist.
