Flanking both sides of the River Tyne, Quayside is a fantastic spot for leisurely strolls or taking in the views of the city’s impressive Tyne Bridge. In fact, the Quayside area has undergone a fairly major transformation in the last 20 years and is now a major hub for arts and culture, as well as many exciting restaurants and bars. Enjoy live music performances at Sage Gateshead, or check out the latest art exhibitions at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art. The Quayside Market is another must-visit if you’re in the area, which takes place every Sunday and hosts a wealth of food and gift vendors.
To sum up, Quayside is a fantastic place to host a wedding, and you'll find a wealth of wedding venues in and around the area, whether you’re on the hunt for somewhere nearer the centre of Newcastle to Gateshead just south of the river, to further afield in the surrounding countryside. If you want to keep celebrations fairly central, discover glamorous hotels, historic venues and Newcastle City Football Stadium where, believe it or not, you can indeed get married. Or, head south to find an elegant art gallery suited to beautiful receptions and celebrations. If you’re willing to travel a little further out, then there are a cohort of stunning castles available to hire for your wedding, perfect for large and lavish celebrations. If you can dream it, Quayside probably has it.
