How to get there

Train

The nearest station to us is Newcastle Central, about a 20-minute walk away. And there’s a lot of options for your stroll – once you get down through the city you can come across the Art-Deco style Tyne Bridge, the Grade-1-listed High Level Bridge, or the Swing Bridge if you want to be closer to the water. Or you can wander along the quayside for a bit before crossing underneath the colourful lights of the Millennium Bridge.

Bus

There have been quite a few changes to local bus routes and some of the stops nearest to us are not currently available. You can get all the latest info on the Go North East website.

Live a little further afield? Catch a coach to selected classical concerts for just £10 return.

Car

If you’re driving then the best postcode to tap into your map app is NE8 2BA, as that will bring you straight to the car park.

The car park is operated in partnership with Euro Car Parks (ECP).  For more info on our car park, including how much it costs and Blue Badge access, we’ve got all the detail on our Parking page.
