North East food ambassador Terry Laybourne’s Café 21 completes the food offer, serving top-notch cuisine for discerning diners, located adjacent to Fenwick's high-end designer haven, the French Salon.

Fenwick’s busy events diary sees a variety of famous personalities grace its many departments.

No event at Fenwick is more well-known, well-attended and well-loved than the famed Fenwick Christmas Windows; for many it simply wouldn’t be Christmas without them! First presented in 1971, the annual animations have become an integral part of the festive season in Newcastle. Make sure to stop and admire them from Northumberland Street throughout the festive season.
