Pretty sure I now qualify as one of Santa’s elves! We’ve been so busy these past few weeks pulling together Newcastle’s biggest ever Christmas and I can’t wait for you all to read more about it. From fairground rides to Santa’s festive friends, I really do think we have all bases covered this year! It really is set to be a fantastic festive season in our city, and my diary is now fully booked with as many Christmassy events that I can fit in. I have numerous visits planned to Hadrian's Tipi, the ice rink, the Christmas Village and Miracle on Grey Street and I’ve also been lucky enough to book tickets to Fenwick’s rooftop cinema! It’s my favourite time of year and I can’t wait to celebrate it here in Newcastle. CATHERINE CORRIGAN MARKETING & EVENTS EXECUTIVE
