Newcastle Culture

 

SPORT

Gateshead International Stadium has become a focal point for British and international athletic events. This all-seater stadium is also accessible for the disabled. Newcastle is home to the 2005 Basketball Championship and BBL Trophy winning team, the Newcastle Eagles whose home is the Metro Radio Arena. Visit the home of the Newcastle Falcons, the region's premier rugby union team, at Kingston Park and see players including World Cup winning hero, Jonny Wilkinson. The sport of ice hockey features two local clubs, the Newcastle Vipers who play at the Metro Radio Arena and the Whitley Warriors.

Any visitor to NewcastleGateshead who surveys the city skyline can be left in little doubt as to one of the overriding passions of the region - St. James' Park is home to Premier League
Newcastle United Football Club and the ground towers over the city.

Dance City is the National Dance Agency for the North East of England and welcomes all kinds of people with a passion for all kinds of dance. Opened in the autumn of 2005, Dance City’s pioneering £7.6m centre for dance has given the organisation the perfect home from which to develop and drive dance forward as one of the most exciting art forms of the 21st Century. "If you like horse racing, you’ll love the buzz and excitement at Gosforth Park, one of England’s premier racecourses which hosts both flat and national hunt races - a fantastic day out.

Northumberland has excellent golf courses scattered throughout the region. In fact, there are 92 courses within one hour's drive of Newcastle, offering plenty of choice.

NewcastleGateshead and North East England offers a great variety of
cycling experiences
for visitors and local people alike.
