There's even more hustle and bustle in the NE1 office this fortnight, if that’s possible!

We’re manning the phones and taking any opportunity we can to talk to each and every single business in the city (1,400 of them, can you believe it!) about our current Renewal ballot.

It’s our chance to look back at all that has been achieved and delivered by NE1 over the last 10 years (as the lovely map in the last issue showed!), and more importantly, to focus in on what the next five years would see us do and where Newcastle would progress to, should we be successful in our vote.

It’s an enormously exciting time for us, and hopefully for you, as we spend some time honing in on what we want Newcastle to be, how it could look, and how we can make that happen, to continue the upward trend that has seen success after success over the past 10 years.

You’ll find our plans on page 9, or in more detail at www.newcastlene1ltd.com, but that's not all - you’ll also find page after page of amazing events, offers, city updates and great content throughout this and every issue of our Get into Newcastle magazine.

Here’s to a positive ‘Yes’ vote, and a guaranteed 120 more editions of your go-to guide!

FALL FOOD!

RECIPE FOR...DISASTER?

Your lunch break is about to get fancy! As the seasons change, our friends at Dobson & Parnell spruce up their lunch menu, with a new take on casual fine dining. Foodies who fancy a lunchtime treat should make their way to this Quayside favourite for a range of small plates for just £10 for two courses. Delicious new dishes include slow cooked belly pork, hand rolled pasta with wild mushroom, Eyemouth crab and charred 4oz rump steak. If a main is not enough, a selection of scrumptious snacks include: ham hock nuggets, falafel scotch egg, mini fried chicken sandwich or a Lindisfarne oyster. Seal the deal with something sweet and choose from chocolate cremeaux, lemon posset, blueberry compote or a cheeseboard. Sounds delicious, right? This mouthwatering new menu is available from 12pm - 2pm Tuesday to Saturday. dobsonandparnell.co.uk

Did you see the Bafta-nominated BBC Three series, ‘Eating With My Ex’? If you did - and loved it as much as we did - we urge you to get involved in the new 1-episode long-form series! A casting call for the people of NE1… The show reunites former couples, sitting them down to have one last dinner and discuss their relationship.

The short-form series has proved super popular, racking up nearly 20 million views online. The aim of the game is to help couples walk away with closure, or indeed a rekindled romance - the opportunities are endless! Fancy giving it a go? Register your interest online. And guess what? You don’t even need to get in touch with your ex - the casting crew will sort that all for you. It might just be time for your TV debut! bbc.co.uk

WE’LL CHEERS TO THAT

We’re raising our glasses to CentrAle - a tasty ale outlet in the heart of Newcastle Central Station, showcasing a whole host of North East beers ready to be discovered.

The local, independent business sells some of the finest traditional ales and craft beers, as well as guest specialities from the rest of the UK and beyond! Not a fan of beer? Worry not - they also stock a selection of local spirits from across the North East as well as English wines from Ryedale Vineyards in North Yorkshire. A tipple-tastic pit-stop for all things local and delicious! Find this local gem adjacent to Platform 12, next to Sainsbury's. centralebeer.com

HELP TO SAVE THE PLANET: Y SALON

A CHRISTMAS CRACKER OF A JOB FAIR!

Looking to get ahead of the game when it comes to Christmas recruitment? We’ve got just the event for you… NE1 Can has teamed up with The Skills Hub and Newcastle United Foundation to bring their Retail, Hospitality and Customer Service Job Fair back to St James’ Park! The stadium’s Moncur Suite will play host to the inspiring event on Thursday 4 October from 12pm - 3.30pm, where a host of exciting businesses will be on hand to discuss hundreds of job opportunities in the city centre! Our friends from TK Maxx, JD Sports, Crowne Plaza, Boots and the Sandman Hotel will all be on hand - as well as many other businesses and restaurants from across NE1! This could be the first step in your next big move… pop along this October!

Y Salon is a forward-thinking, eco-friendly salon in the heart of the city centre - putting the planet first! Not only will the team take care of all your hairdressing needs, but they’re the creators of the famous ‘Geordie Blow Dry’ and have worked backstage at fashion weeks in London, New York, Milan and Paris. Kind of a big deal, right? Well, we have even more reason to love this superb salon as they establish themselves in the marketplace as the North East’s primary eco-friendly salon offering a range of sustainable, vegan products.

So what are they doing to make the world a better place? They're inviting customers to recycle empty shampoo or conditioner bottles in exchange for salon vouchers - the Y Salon team will then donate to Coast Care Northumberland, to help clean up our local beaches.

You’ll also find the first vegan hair lightener, bio-degradable coffee and beautiful, ethical haircare brands. ysalon.co.uk

TRY A TRIBAL ALE

There’s no better time to round up your tribe and tootle down to The Botanist to try its very own in-house beer, Tribal Ale! Brewed with a vibrant blend of tropical New Zealand hops for sipping and sharing with friends, this hybrid beer sits between a refreshing lager and a punchy pale ale. And taking its inspiration from the community nature of tribes, you simply can’t get away without trying this new tipple with your pals! If you haven’t already seen the bold new beer tap on the bar at The Botanist, the new ale’s arrival has been celebrated with the installation of a big and bright ‘totem pole’ for drinkers and their tribes - making for the perfect Insta snap!

Tribes and totems at the ready… it’s time to fall in love with this new beer this fall! thebotanist.uk.com

26.09.18 WHAT'S ON WEDNESDAY

This really is too much Outlandish, theatrical and highly-entertaining, This Really Is Too Much delves into a world of stereotypes and power struggles, as four characters wrestle with restriction, gender and performance of identity, trying desperately to work out which box they fit into. Amusing and thought-provoking in equal measure, the dance theatre performance reveals the absurd realities of what it means to be a three-dimensional, high-definition, water-drinking, salad-eating, moisturising woman in modern society! northernstage.co.uk

CALENDAR GIRLS THE MUSICAL

Based on the true story of the calendar girls - a group of ordinary ladies who achieved something extraordinary - Calendar Girls The Musical arrives at Theatre Royal, ready to warm audiences’ hearts and make them cry with laughter. Produced by Tim Firth and Take That’s Gary Barlow, and starring big names such as Fern Britton, Denise Welch and Sara Crowe, it’s an award-winning production, not to be missed! theatreroyal.co.uk

Arctic >> Monkeys

One of the best-loved British rock bands are back in town! The Arctic Monkeys will be taking to the Metro Radio Arena stage this Thursday and Friday following the release of their ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’ album in May. Hailing from Sheffield, the band started playing local circuits in the early 2000s, before catching the eye of the national press, taking to festival stages and then releasing their first single ‘I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor’ in 2005. They’ve since taken the world by storm with their indie-rock charm, and they’re making their way back up north this season for a must-see gig in NE1! metroradioarena.co.uk

CHARITY ROWING

North East businessman Phil Pugh and a team of rowers will be making an appearance at The Gate from September 27-30 to promote their transatlantic row in December. The group are joining forces in a bid to beat the Concept 2 World Record of rowing 1 million metres on an indoor rowing machine, which will take place inside The Gate. Money raised will go towards to two charities - Tiny Lives and The Fire Fighters Charity. thegatenewcastle.co.uk

NATIONAL THEATRE - KING LEAR

Directed by Jonathan Munby and starring world-renowned actor, Ian McKellen, this modern and powerful retelling of Shakespeare’s violent and moving play arrives on the silver screen. Considered to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them.

Their blindness unleashes a tornado of chaos, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends. tynesidecinema.co.uk
