EACH ISSUE WE WELCOME YOU TO THE MAGAZINE WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM A MEMBER OF THE NE1 TEAM, GIVING YOU THEIR UNIQUE TAKE ON WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE CITY.

FRESH FROM THE PRESS

As the dust settles on a fantastic summer of events in Newcastle, including a triumphant (if wet) Pride festival, a sunny and successful Newcastle Mela and a jam-packed calendar from us here at NE1, Newcastle prepares for thousands of new arrivals from far and wide to descend upon our great city.

Once again, countless university students are about to call Newcastle their new home. This made me think: while I was born and raised in the North East, I don’t think I ever fully appreciated what Newcastle has to offer, aside from its renowned nightlife, universally-acknowledged friendliness and iconic bridges (I never shut up about the bridges - there’s seven of them!) So, let’s take stock, shall we?

We have an array of outstanding theatres, galleries, music venues and cinemas, which host major events as well as fresh, upcoming artists, comedians and filmmakers.

We also have quality sporting venues, like St. James’ Park, which has hosted several international events this year.

The city is steeped in history, with a generous collection of gorgeous old buildings and cobbled streets like High Bridge and the Cloth Market (which themselves play host to fabulous independent retailers and some of the finest restaurants and bars in the region). For those who need reminding, there is a castle too!

Newcastle is a city we should all feel lucky to live, work and play in.

So, while our city’s new students explore the famous sights and hidden gems, I encourage readers to get out and do the same. Trust me, after interning at Newcastle NE1, I can safely say that you’ve certainly not seen it all...

NE1 SAYS

NE1 on Christmas

CHRISTMAS-LOVERS REJOICE! THE FESTIVE SEASON IS JINGLING OUR WAY AND SOON THE CITY CENTRE WILL BEGIN TO TWINKLE… BUT THIS YEAR, EXPECT A WHOLE HOST OF AMAZING IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE! From incredible Christmas Markets, sensational shopping sprees and fabulous fairground fun, 2019’s Christmas in NE1 is sure to be the best yet!

Yes that’s right, Christmas in NE1 is going up another notch. Plans for brand new festive experiences in the Toon have been submitted and they look amazing! Including a fabulous new bar at Grey’s Monument, a thrilling toboggan run on Blackett Street and a revamped Christmas Market to look forward to, the people of Newcastle are promised double the festive fun this year! Taking place in and around Northumberland Street,

Blackett Street, Grainger Street, Grey’s Monument and Grey Street, these amazing new plans will mean that local traders from around the North East will be able to take part in this year’s new, sparkling Christmas Market! With Northumberland Street set to welcome stalls for the very first time, you’ll be sure to find that perfect gift - making Christmas extra special this year.

We at NE1 are supportive of these brand new proposals as the benefits for the Toon are huge! With research showing that for every £1 spent at a Christmas market nationally, a further £2.80 is

spent in that local economy, over £500m was generated for cities and towns around the UK in 2017 alone from Christmas markets.

With nearby cities such as Manchester and Edinburgh welcoming huge numbers of visitors thanks to their Christmas-experience, the aim of the new Christmas Markets plan is to dramatically improve the city’s festive offer and deliver a significant uplift in footfall over the next five years.

Stats also show that up to 54% of visitors to Christmas markets explore other parts of the city, meaning an influx of shoppers exploring our boutique stores dotted about the Toon, and stopping to taste some of Newcastle’s best food and drink! The dazzling new markets will see new growth in the coming years, with further exciting plans, meaning that Christmas time will be tailor-made to help suit the city!

As part of the exciting long term

plan, the city will welcome even more friendly faces, helping savvy shoppers find the best deals as more traders arrive in the city. We all know practice makes perfect and if all the partners in the city work together, we can grow this Christmas Market into something incredible and achieve even more.

Working closely with local businesses, residents and traders in the coming years, the city’s festive offer is set to be transformed.

But it’s not just markets this Christmas! Alongside these expanded plans, there is tons of other festive fun to be had throughout the city.

From getting your skates on at Life Science Centre’s amazing open-air ice rink this winter, to meandering the magical aisles of the Grainger Market. From Northumberland Street’s winter wonderland including Fenwick’s spell-binding Christmas Window, to the amazing Christmas Light switch-on at Grey’s Monument! We can’t wait to get festive! getintonewcastle.co.uk

BROUGHT TO YOU BY TYNE & WEAR ARCHIVES & MUSEUMS

INSPIRING IMPRESSIONISTS! Albert Howard Higginbottom generously gifted his collection of Japanese art to the Laing Art Gallery in 1919. The gift included the Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji series (1830) by Katsushika Hokusai, with its famous Great Wave off Kanagawa print.

Hokusai created this series in his seventies, when he is considered to have been at the height of his abilities. Woodblock prints of the ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) school draw upon associations from literature, legend, philosophy and history: here Mount Fuji is depicted from different viewpoints at different times of the day and year.

We can see samurai and townspeople on holiday, enjoying picnics and tea stalls, not paying much attention to the view!

Japanese art was unknown in the west until 1854, but became a popular craze from the 1870s onwards. Vincent Van Gogh collected Japanese prints, which gave him a new way of looking at the world; he wrote that “all my work is based to some extent on Japanese art”.

From them, Van Gogh learned to look differently at space, pay attention to details from nature and enjoy expanses of strong colour.

Other impressionist artists were also influenced at this time by Japan, including of course Monet’s famous water lily garden at Giverny.

Learn about Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums’ collections at twmuseums.org.uk or check out any of their nine venues.
