The NE1 Newcastle Motor Show, the UK’s largest, free, open-air, city centre motoring event and one of the biggest shows of the year in the North, is returning to the city on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 July for a fun packed weekend for all the family.

One of the UK’s most popular pop up beaches, Quayside Seaside in Newcastle, will be making a welcome return to the banks of the Tyne earlier than ever this year, at the start of the Easter Holidays on Friday 7 April.

Newcastle NE1, the city’s Business Improvement District (BID), is supporting the city’s businesses to forge worldwide trading links as the country prepares for Brexit.

Newcastle is proud of its rich cultural heritage and is keen to celebrate and demonstrate the incredible diversity of its residents, visitors and students through a new project, ‘Humans of NE1’, an online album of portrait photographs cataloguing the people of Newcastle and their stories. Hosted on NE1’s Get into Newcastle website and NE1’s other social media platforms, visitors will be encouraged to visit the site to review the images and read the stories and individual histories of the people photographed.
