During this difficult year and the enforced closures of the coronavirus lockdown, Newcastle and Gateshead's best attractions, museums and galleries have become very creative with the way they continue to showcase their innovative displays, impressive exhibitions and host inspiring events. It's no different with Christmas on the horizon with annual events like the famous Fenwick Newcastle Christmas window reveal going online too.
It might not be the same as visiting NewcastleGateshead in person but until the time when we can enjoy culture, theatre and take part in events - get your fix of what's online with these virtual tours, online events and performances. You can also download a new collection of audio tales based in Northumberland and inspired by traditional fairy tales to immerse you in a virtual theatre, storytelling experience. Whether you're desperate for another online pub quiz or would like to satisfy your thirst for art and culture, more and more online events are popping up all the time - visitors have even been granted behind the scenes access to museums like Great North Museum: Hancock who invite you to take a tour of their museum archives.
Please click through to the event listing to check the details as many of these events can be accessed any time and other events are time specific.
