The countdown to Christmas has officially begun in NE1. Whether you're hunting down the perfect gift for a loved one, you're shopping for seasonal goods, or you just want to browse the beautiful city centre markets, we've got you covered with three hotspots...
STACKS OF SEASONAL BUYS...
Can be found at Newcastle’s new shipping container community on Pilgrim Street. If you fancy finding unique gifts, then STACK is your go-to destination. Pick up a mulled wine at Hadrian’s Tipi after browsing the independent stores. Get super cool surf-wear at Longsands Clothing Co., pick up some punny, Geordie gifts at For The Love of the North and bag a bottle of wine for that special someone at Fourteen Drops.
PICK UP GIFTS AND GET SERIOUS ABOUT STREET FOOD...
At the Newcastle International Christmas Markets, back in situ at Grey’s Monument, Grey Street and Grainger Street. Browse the seasonal stalls under twinkling fairy lights. Pick up artisan foods, mulled wine, hot chocolate and handmade gifts.
FILL YOUR BAGS...
And feel festive at intu Eldon Square. The centre will be open for Christmas shoppers until 9pm on weekdays from 3 December - meaning you’ve got plenty of time to get Alive After Five and enjoy gathering gifts for your loved ones. What's more? With free parking in seven multi-storey car parks after 5pm, your shopping trip is made even sweeter! There will also be a Christmas gift-wrapping station between Fenwick and Boots, Christmas choir services and much, much more!
