From there there's some lovely short walks into and around Jesmond Dene where there's also a small petting zoo.Ī walk from the Monument down Grey Street, Dean Street and then along the Quayside takes in some great sights. On the first Saturday of the month there's a nice little food market sets up on Armstrong Bridge (10am-3pm). I’ve never been to Newcastle at Christmas- just wondered if anyone could recommend good things to do/see in Newcastle with the family at this time of year? Planning to take the family up to Newcastle for the match next weekend.
