Hack Your NE1 Weekend | 23 - 24 February 2019
NE1 WEEKENDER!
Diaries at the ready for another fun-filled weekend in our sparkling city!
SATURDAY 23 FEBRUARY
Morning munch
Make Cafe 21 at Fenwick your breakfast stop. Still on your health-kick? Don’t fear! Why not try their fresh fruit salads, or Greek yogurt with berries and homemade granola? Or, for a little weekend indulgence, we hear their cinnamon french toast is delicious!
Tales for tots
Take tots to see Bing Live at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House - a brand new stage show, bringing to life TV’s Bing Bunny and his furry friends, who will be telling stories, dressing up and singing songs.
Bite-sized ballet
Northern Ballet's Elves & the Shoemaker stomps on to the big screen at Cineworld as part of its fantastic season of interactive ballets for children, narrated by Anita Rani. With playful characters and spellbinding music, the adorable ballet is sure to have little ones dancing with excitement!
Big band beats
See internationally-acclaimed trombonist, Mark Nightingale, at Sage Gateshead. He’ll be joined on stage by Michael Lamb’s Strictly Smokin’ Big Band and together they’ll perform some of Mark’s own compositions and arrangements. A gig that should be in every jazz fan’s diary!
Theatre thrills
The Showstoppers have been thrilling audiences across the globe for over a decade - and now they’re in the North East! See the award-winning musical comedy show at Northern Stage, packed with drama, dazzling dance routines and catchy melodies – all made up on the spot!
Saturday sipping
Get in the weekend spirit with cocktails at Tiger Hornsby - the perfect way to end your Saturday! Settle in at the iconic Quayside bar and enjoy Howay Petal martinis, Geordie Gin Fizz and a mini Moët or two!
70s throwback
Don’t miss The Lemon Twigs at Riverside! The brothers will be channeling some of the 70s singer/songwriter energy of their father Ronnie D’Addario, with an upbeat mix of musical theatre performance and lo-fi pop tunes.
SUNDAY 24 FEBRUARY
Frosty fun
It’s your last day to skate about at Life Science Centre’s ice rink! Grab your boots and a couple of mates and enjoy plenty of frosty, outdoor fun, topped off with plenty of cool tunes!
Disney flick
20 years after first bursting on to the big screen, Tyneside Cinema is bringing back the Disney classic, Mulan. To save her father from death in the army, Mulan conceals her true identity and fights in his place, becoming one of China's greatest heroines.
Bride book
Calling all brides and grooms-to-be! Don’t miss Blackfriars’ Wedding Fair! A great chance to check out the restaurant’s romantic medieval Banquet Hall, registered for civil ceremonies, and chat to many of its trusted suppliers, including florists, cake designers and photographers.
Foodie feast
Make The Broad Chare your Sunday pick for end-of-the-week comfort food. Relax in one of Newcastle’s best-loved pubs and enjoy hearty plates of goodness, including bubble ’n’ squeak, pork belly with apple, rib eye steak and steamed syrup sponge with custard!
Sunday songbook
Catch When We Collide, A British Songbook at Sage Gateshead. Written by the people of the UK as part of Art 50 Weekender, a free festival showcasing some of the 50 artistic projects commissioned by Sky Arts, the songbook shines a light on our identity in the wake of the EU Referendum.
Sunday social

Rock out at The Cluny’s Rock Against Racism Festival, during which a number of local rock bands, including Red Alert, Loudmouth and What About Eddie, will be taking to the stage.
