Newcastle Castle

Open 7-days per week from 10am until 5pm, visitors can visit the family-friendly historic attraction, located in Newcastle city centre, to reveal the story of how Newcastle began, the reason the City got its name and to walk in the steps of the people who lived and died in the shadow of Newcastle Castle. Steeped in history this imposing Norman fortress, is a rugged reminder of Northern England’s turbulent history. Also home to a range of cultural events, at Newcastle Castle a film night, theatre production, talk or workshop is a truly memorable experience – what could be better than watching visitors' favourite film or theatre production in The Great Hall where the kings of England once sat!
