GREY STREET GATHERING

Your Geordie Jackpot generosity has been injected back into the city as NE1 unveils its new pop-up park, Grey Street Gathering! This glorious new green space is the first city centre project paid for by the Geordie Jackpot and takes pride of place on Grey Street until October. The tranquil pocket park will provide an away-from-it-all retreat in one of the city’s busiest, most beautiful streets; equipped with large planters, special seating areas and exercise sessions. The more you play the Geordie Jackpot, the more we can do to help our fantastic city grow. To play and keep contributing to what NE1 does, as well as being in with the chance of winning fab prizes and raising funds for local charity, buy your tickets at: geordiejackpot.co.uk. This September, why not get involved in the Geordie Jackpot as an office syndicate? "When the Geordie Jackpot was set up, we all agreed it was a great idea because it is supporting local initiatives." The team at Nigel Wright Recruitment won £1,000 and are delighted with the Geordie Jackpot's charity work and city initiatives including the new Grey Street Gathering. Buy your tickets online for just £1!

SAY HELLO TO ST. VINCENT

After 10 great years of feeding the foodies of Newcastle down by the Quayside, our friends at Caffe Vivo have said goodbye. But it’s not all bad news... as one door closes, another opens and we’re saying hello to a new venture in the form of a stylish wine bar offering a huge range of classic, boutique and artisan wines, sumptuous small plates, classic cocktails, craft beers, vermouths and Amaro. ST. VINCENT will guide guests from breakfast and weekend brunch, to afternoon appetisers and sunset sips. This contemporary wine bar and café brings a whole new concept to the city centre’s food and drinks scene and we love it! Keep an eye out - it’s set to open at the end of September.
