CBK VOUCHERS
Unleash your wild side and share an experience with the one you love! While heading for the open water isn’t permitted on your Valentine’s agenda right now, you can certainly plan ahead and celebrate your love at a later date. Whether it’s kayaking down the River Tyne or taking part in one of their expertly crafted guided tours, CBK Adventures guarantees laughs, happiness and memories.
KISS ME KATE @ THEATRE ROYAL
Plan ahead and show them you care with a night at the theatre. We may be in lockdown, but that doesn’t mean you can skip the romance! Nothing says 'I love you' like a steamy, hilarious broadway classic, coming to the city in 2021! This July, Kiss Me Kate will be brought to life on the Theatre Royal stage with choreography by Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse and some of the greatest show tunes of all time by the legendary Cole Porter. This one’s not to be missed!

WYLAM BREWERY
A boozy Valentine’s Day anyone? If craft beer is the key to your heart then Wylam Brewery’s selection of IPAs, ales and stouts promise to get you in the spirit. Whether you’re looking to treat the one you love to these cool and quirky beers, or simply stock up on your favourite flavours ahead of the big day, you can do so by placing your order via the online store.
REVOLUCIÓN DE CUBA
Get glammed up, the dining room awaits! Our pals at Revolución de Cuba have done the hard work for you this Valentine’s Day. Choose your favourite cocktail to be handmade by the mixologists using premium spirits and fresh ingredients. The oh-so tasty tipple will then be delivered to your door, chilled and ready for you to serve over ice and enjoy!
Celebrating singles >>
QUAYSIDE STROLLING
Who said Valentine’s Day was about loving other people? Self care is most definitely on this year’s agenda! Wrap up warm and head out for pretty views and city lights. Put yourself first, spend time with your thoughts and think about what truly makes you happy as you stroll along our beloved Quayside.
HOTEL CHOCOLAT
Being single doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s time to celebrate you and there's no better way than by treating yourself to some luxury chocolates delivered to your door! Time to settle in with a glass of the good stuff, pop on your fave bingeworthy TV show and tuck in.
