It explores Tyneside's history, with free entry and no need to book, making it an easy, flexible visit. There's a Halloween half term programme, learning activities for schools and home education, and Tiny Tyneside is available to hire for children's birthday parties, so it suits families and school groups well. Accessibility information is provided to help you get around. Newcastle station is just 0.4 miles away, and with 104 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's a convenient stop if you're basing yourself in the area for a longer trip.
