WHERE

Newcastle upon Tyne

What it’s like

A live music venue at Times Square with a minimum age of 14.

This is a gig venue in the middle of Newcastle, at Times Square, and it's set up for live music rather than a family day out. The age limit is 14, so it's really one for older teenagers who are into a particular band or artist, not somewhere to bring younger children along.

Getting there is easy if you're coming by train or Metro. Newcastle Central Station and the nearest Metro stop are both about a 7 minute walk, which makes it a straightforward one for a teenager heading in with friends or getting picked up afterwards.

One thing to flag if it affects your plans: the venue can't accommodate wheelchairs because of how the building's laid out. If that's a concern, they say to get in touch through their contact form to talk through what you need before you book anything.
