What have we got in store for you?

Let's be honest here: we're obsessed with hitting the shops. NewcastleGateshead's great mix of independent boutiqures, high street favourites, red-hot designer brands and malls such as Metrocentre and Eldon Square all set it apart as style capital of the North.

What's more, the compact nature of the area and the welcoming coffee shops, pubs and markets make it easy to cram in as many stores as you like and refuel in style on your way!
