11 Fun Date Ideas in Newcastle Upon Tyne

Looking back at dating when Steve and I were younger and it was pretty boring really. It would always either be drinks in town or Whitley Bay or a pub lunch. 

We definitely weren't the most adventurous! 

Over the years though our tastes have changed and don't get me wrong, we still love drinks in town but we also love trying something new.

Today I am sharing a few ideas for date nights or days in Newcastle. Let me know if you have any ideas to add to the list!

If you're looking for ideas which do not involve drinking or eating, see this post: 13 Date Ideas in Newcastle (which do not involve food or alcohol).

The Perfect Newcastle Christmas Market

Us Geordies are never happy are we? For years we have moaned that our Christmas Markets and festivities just aren't up to scratch. So this year, Newcastle Council decides to quadruple our offering and we still aren't happy ( I include myself in this btw).
