What travelers are saying
- Lorraine4 contributionsWe went on the 75 minute tour with Pete and Steve they were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the tunnel and how it was used. A different way to spend a couple of hours and learn about the history of a hidden part of Newcastle. It was definitely worth the visit.Written March 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Craigster90Whitley Bay, UK37 contributionsI hadn’t been on a Stadium Tour in 12 Years and thanks to our amazing tour guides Martin & Paul, i learned even more about my club.
The main purpose of this tour was to show my partner and 2 kids the stadium i love, i this tour did just that. We saw all the sights, had plenty time for photos and the sheer knowledge of Martin & Paul was amazing, they are a credit to the club.
We would definitely come back for another one!Written March 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alan_BatesonPreston, UK248 contributionsA nice 45 minute Sunny January walk from the City Centre to what is essentially a Country Park in the middle of a sprawling City. A lovely pea cull walk along the River Ousburn to the Old Mill and waterfall, stopping for a coffee at the cafe in the park along the way. Very pleasant way to get some fresh air and excerciseWritten February 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BeclongeDurham, UK138 contributionsToday, I had the privilege of visiting Newcastle Cathedral and was deeply moved by their profound commitment to social action. From the prayer wall for victims of abuse and the prayer tree to the opportunity to light a candle, every aspect of their ministry radiates intentional compassion. Their café, which provides employment opportunities for ex-offenders and a chance for a fresh start, is a beautiful testament to grace in action.
What touched me most profoundly—both as a human, a Christian, and a Methodist minister—was the dedicated space they provide for the homeless to rest. In the bitter subzero temperatures of a North East winter, this simple yet radical act of hospitality is genuinely life-saving. While such a ministry must come with its challenges, I have not encountered anything quite like it in any other cathedral across the UK. It is undoubtedly a sacrificial expression of their faith, yet it exemplifies the essence of Jesus’ call to love our neighbour and to welcome the poor, the orphan, and the widow.
This extraordinary ministry led me to prayer—lifting up their work, their witness, and the lives they touch daily. Newcastle Cathedral shines as a beacon of light and hope in the city, embodying the gospel in a way that is tangible, transformative, and deeply inspiring.Written January 15, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We do love this theatre, although being able to book drinks and snacks on line like in other theatres would be an advantage. The staff are always super friendly, The price for two bottles of water was a bit steep but we do get discount on these that softened the blow a little. Will be back soon.Written February 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Donna P2 contributionsFabulous. Free to enter - just give a voluntary contribution. Lots to see and definitely worth a visit. It's just a short walk from the city centre too. We particularly enjoyed the historical sections and loved seeing the artefacts from Ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt and of course Hadrian's Wall. We loved the amazing fossils too. A super visit and would definitely recommend it.Written February 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
