Answer 2

Answer 3

Old fashioned and free - explore Jesmond Dene or Leazes Park. Visit Exhibition Park and Science Museum. Try Hancock Museum, Laing Art Gallery or Baltic. Take a picnic with you or splash out on a drink and a sarnie. Visit Black Gate and Keep. Find out about Newcastle's history - castle it was called after was built by William the Conqueror's son. Walk what's left of the walls (Roman and city). Visit cathedral - famous lantern tower with earliest flying buttresses in the country.

Answer 4

If you've got a bike, you can get a free map of bike paths of Newcastle and surrounding areas in the tourist information in town. Riding a bike is pretty safe, great exercise & free once you've got the bike! Or join a social networking site - people always suggest cheap or free activities for groups or individuals.

On 12th July you can come down to Baltic Square & take part in world's biggest salsa http://www.vamosfestival.com/

Good luck!

Answer 5

You could try going for days out. Arriva do a day ticket that costs £6, and go north east one that is £5.70, or there's the £7 Explorer North East.

Arriva Services to try:

714 to Kielder on a Sunday

508 to Cragside on a Sunday

501/505 to North Northumberland

685 to Carlisle

Go North East Services:

X10 to Middlesbrough, where if you get an explorer north east you could go to Whitby or Scarborough on the 93/X93 operated by Arriva.

There's some ideas, however I have many more, so if you want some, just contact me through my profile page
