Many of our friends and partners will be excited for English Tourism Week as it gives them the chance to showcase our historic city and beautiful surrounding areas.
With Newcastle city centre just 20 minutes from award-winning coastal beaches and the UNESCO World Heritage site that is Durham city, just 10 minutes by train, we find that many conference visitors like to extend their stay beyond the event.
Working closely with our local convention bureau, NewcastleGateshead Initiative (NGI), we can offer visitors preferential rates on local hotels, advice on local attractions, bar, and restaurant recommendations as well as information on travelling to and around the region.
Northumbria University aligns to the 'Good to Go' industry standard recognised by VisitEngland, the National Tourist Board of England.
You will be surprised just how connected we are in Newcastle. With an international airport just outside the city centre and train times from London now under 3 hours it really is easy to visit us. Working with LNER we can make your journey more worthwhile with 30% off train tickets for delegates travelling to events and conferences at Northumbria University on the East Coast Main Line.
As we start to get back to some sort of normality the safety of our guests is of paramount importance to us. Northumbria University aligns to the 'Good to Go' industry standard recognised by VisitEngland, the National Tourist Board of England. This mark means that we are following Government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, we have robust risk assessments in place across our campus, and processes in place to maintain cleanliness and aid the implementation and management of social distancing measures as required.
