About Newcastle
If living in Newcastle University accommodation piques your interest, you’ll find a wealth of activity right on your doorstep. Whether you’re into sport, culture or nightlife, there’s something for everyone in the vibrant city of Newcastle. But where else to start than the beating heart of the city, St James’ Park. The Newcastle United football ground is something to behold, so whether you manage to see a game, attend a stadium tour or even view it from the outside, it’s always worth visiting to soak it all in. Something else which epitomises the determination and passion of the locals, is the famous Great North Run. The iconic half marathon takes its way around the city in September, sampling all the celebrated landmarks along the way. It’s a great spectator event, but even better as a participation activity if you’re fit enough!
But of course, there’s not just sporting activities to get into. Newcastle is home to a multitude of brilliant live music establishments including the Utilita Arena, the O2 Academy and the Sage Gateshead, which host some of the biggest artists around throughout the year. Or, if you’re a lover of theatre, there are popular venues such as the Theatre Royal which often hosts well-known Shakespeare plays and the like. If you’re just after a fun night out away from your university accommodation, then Newcastle’s famous strip of bars and clubs will have you dancing until the early hours. But unlike a lot of other cities, Newcastle accommodation and general day-to-day life is very affordable, whichever your preference is.
For those explorers looking to find out everything about the city and its surroundings, look no further than the many galleries and museums on offer. There’s even converted four mill on the Gateshead Quay, which displays a brilliant selection of contemporary art and other exhibits. If after all the activities on offer you want a dose of fresh air and beautiful landscapes, then the beaches and dramatic scenery of the North East’s coastline are ideal for walks. Along the coastal paths, there are also iconic landmarks such as the Tynemouth Priory and Castle and St Mary’s lighthouse. Head out from the comfort of your Newcastle uni accommodation and enjoy everything that Tyneside has to offer!
