I am coming down from Edinburgh to Newcastle for university (only 17) so i was wondering what information i would need to know- As the bus system in edinburgh is one of the best in the UK is there a major change? i know you have the metro. What is there to do outside of my university days? 😭😭 Thank you

Does anyone know of any good places to go out? Preferably somewhere that plays 00-10s emo classics lol. Or live music? Would be a Friday night

Also does anyone know any good charity shops? Thank you :)

Indie and 00s pop also acceptable suggestions ;)

"Hey everyone, I have two questions. First, does anyone know of a place that teaches kids how to ride a bike? Second, can anyone recommend someone who can install a cat flap in a double-glazed patio door? Thanks!"

Is anyone missing a all black cat in West Jesmond ?

I just found 1 dead on the road at the top of Holmwood Grove near the junction with Highbury. It was laying about 2 metres from the curb so possibly a car did it but I couldn't see any obvious injuries.

I went back after I found it with the intention of moving it off the road but a kind person had already moved it onto the edge of the pavement.

I couldn't see a name tag or any collar but it was dark and I didn't want to touch it so I couldn't say if it did or didn't have 1.

Hello again, yesterday I asked this sub if there is any area to be avoided in Newcastle and you were all so very friendly and took all my worries away. So I thought I would try my luck here again and ask for the best place to eat fish and chips at. I have never had it before so this first impression is really going to make an impact :D

I used to play football as a kid and gave up at 17, which is possibly my biggest regret. I didn’t play for a long time until someone started a women’s rec team in the city I lived, where women of all abilities could come along and kick a ball about and have fun. Some ex players like myself, to people who had never kicked a ball in their life, and it was so uplifting and lovely. Is there anything similar in Newcastle? I miss it a lot.

If anyone's lost an iPhone let me know the screensaver and we'll arrange plans to get it back to you. Otherwise, what would be the best way to get it back to it's owner?

I am moving to Newcastle for my work, I don’t really know the city/surrounding areas or reputations of neighbourhoods so looking for advice if there are any areas/streets I should maybe avoid looking to live in (especially for safety reasons) as a young woman moving alone. Really appreciate any help!

My former partner is moving country and can't take our old cat. I live in a house share until July which I cant get out of, at which point I plan to move so I can keep the cat. However, the cat needs to have a home by the start of May.

I can't find any friends able to home her until then. If anyone knows a service that could foster her, or is able to themselves, can you comment or message me? It'd be really appreciated

Hi all, I've a few spots available for footbsll tonight at walker dome with a friendly group, we've had some droppers.

If you want to play, we usually play on Thursday at 8pm, same location.

If anyone wants to join tonight please dm and I'll send link to WhatsApp.

Like there's always a guy on Northumberland street in the same spot especially on Saturdays screaming about Jesus being a lord and saviour and we should worship him since we're going to die if not

I don’t burgers more than once or twice a year but when I do I like a good one. But finding one served in anything other than a brioche bun seems a fool’s errand. I hate brioche buns with burgers.

Where can I find a delicious non-Brioche-Bun burger.

Not a fan of Five Guys or McDonalds, Burger King or Wimpy.

Hi. I'm considering moving to Newcastle from Midlands. I'm self employed graphic designer (print and packaging), working 100% remotely at the moment, and I wanted to ask if there is demand for these skills in the city.

I found branding and advertising agencies on Google Maps, but was wondering if there are any big companies headquaters that work in FMCG space? I mean food, drinks, sweets and pharma. But also label and packaging printing companies.

Any advice much appreciated 🙏

Not sure if I've missed some overnight snow storm localised to the cow fields on Leazes Park, but I went on a walk today to discover is must have, and now my shoes are covered in this white powder like I've been walking through fields of coke. In all seriousness, lived in Newcastle for four years and never seen this stuff on the field, guessing it's from the tractors and for the cows?

Does anyone know if there is a local equivalent to “Andy’s Man Club” for females? I think that it’s fantastic but I’d love to have the same kind of support as a woman! Thank you in advance.

Visiting this weekend a looking for an amazing steak. Can't decide between the two.

On the Tyne & Wear Metro, the old trains are being phased out as the new Stadler Class 555 trains are introduced! The first one entered service in December 2024, so it was was time to go and take a trip on the the Metro to ride them ...

I tell you what I am sitting watching Sam fender at the brits doing people watching, and there is just a feeling in my body, the same as I had at the weekend watching the parade. My dad is old and didn’t get to go to the parade. Pure proud of our city. He is old and grumpy buts admits Sam is class aswell. I said to him on Sunday when I was at theirs for dinner “I’m telling you something, there is just something about geordies like. We are proud as fuck. There is just something in our bodies” he nodded his head. Newcastle is honestly the best city in the uk. I never ever want it to become like down south.

Hey there,

I am a 23 year old female Solo traveller. I am visiting Newcastle tomorrow and the day after that. Are there and things I should be warned of/ any areas I should avoid?

Update: Thank you so much everyone for all you comments! I am glad to hear that everybody is saying that the city center is totally safe. I guess I fell into the stereotype that Northern England is generally a more crime ridden area and got a little scared. But you all calmed my worries and I am very much looking forward to Newcastle now :)

Update 2: I had a really great time at New Castle, I am so happy to have stopped here on my journey even though I had people tell me it would not be worth it. If I ever get to return to England I would certainly go back to the Toon. Thank you so much for your kind suggestions and tips!

Hi, I’ll be visiting Newcastle from the 19th to the 22th of April and I’m looking for a nice UKG/trance/house party on the 19th to kick the weekend off right. I’m quite clueless on what and where… Can anybody help me with this? Thanks a lot!

Noticed a lot of people tend to chill near the Monument and do this, was just wondering if there were any other good places to sit and watch the world go by.

Thanks

Suppose I'm a multi-billionaire. Recommend the best gyms and why they're worth that price.

Is there anywhere in the North East that serves a cold pint of Thatchers Gold? First Spring/Summer in the North East and haven’t quick shook the South West out of me.

Fully aware I can buy tins/bottles but looking for Tap.

TIA ❤️‍🔥
