For shopping
On Sundays, Armstrong Bridge in Jesmond brings together the best local artists and jewellers who produce some lovely works, designs and pieces. Commissions are usually also taken if you have something really individual in mind. There is also a more traditional market just down the road selling the usual market fare from gloves to gumboots!
For eating out
Olive and Bean is a fantastic relaxed deli style cafe that produces some mouth wateringly good cakes, sandwiches and light meals. Stylish and quirky, they produce some of the best homemade fare for miles around and with the addition of the deli counter, you can even take some home with you for after!
For nightlife
Liquid and Envy are two interconnected clubs located on New Bridge Street. While modern and funky inside, the clubs are housed in beautiful listed buildings. With the spacious open plan dance floors and balconies, these spaces feel free and easy and make for a great night out with friends. The dance floors are drink free thanks to the staff who enforce this policy meaning you don’t end up boogieing the night away in a sticky sea of broken glass, which is always a bonus for your Manolos.
