We’re here to help point you in the direction of the brilliant places and people who make sure there’s always good times to be had.

Whether you’re looking to grab a bite or a bargain; have a pint or a freshly-pressed juice; see a gig or visit a top drawer exhibition; catch a play, wet yourself laughing or take the kids somewhere smashing… the good people of Newcastle and Gateshead have got you covered.

At Only in Newcastle, we’re all about the positive, so if it’s on here, you can take that as a glowing recommendation from us.

It’s always our mission to keep finding and shouting about more of the brilliant independent delights which we’re lucky enough to have on our doorstep – and lots of the lovely lot who put it there.

We’d love you to get stuck in and get involved too. Don’t be shy. Tell us about your favourite independent places for food, drink, shopping and entertainment across Newcastle and Gateshead. We love hearing all about them.
