My personal favourite place to buy meat, veggies and bread…read more Big barn type market in the centre of Newcastle. Numerous stalls that offer all types of different services. Numerous award winning butchers that offer prime cuts of meat, fantastic mince and healthy plump chickens and eggs! Wonderful bakery that makes the best breads and pastry I have tried. Wonderful vegetables and fruit stands where you get can a serious deal on great vegetables. Cheapest and most authentic pick and mix selection I have ever seen Fish monger, show repair, tea shop, cafes, clothing and boot sale, cd shops, home repair, clothing alterations ... Even a room with a scale in it! Grainger Market is magical. A must see, I consider the market a tourist attraction because of how traditional it is. The people in the booths all seem very authentic and very helpful.

It took me far too long to actually go to Grainger market. I love places with lots of little…read moreindividual businesses. I was used to markets being places with cheap tat and someone with a thick Black Country accent yelling from a van about sausages, and it's just definitely not like that here. There are still veggies, butchers (and decent cheeses to boot), but there are some seriously talented craftspeople too. It's good for a look around even if you don't feel like buying anyth8ng, odds are you probably will end up doing so.

What can I say, I Love this shop. This is perfect for any women that love Home Interiors & Home…read moreFurnishings. This shop is really cheap and often has outstanding offers and reductions on. They stock everything from Cushion Covers & Duvet Covers to Candles, bath mats, bedroom furniture, pictures, craft making sets and much, much more. I go to this shop at least twice a month to see what new offers and reductions have been made. They have outlets all over the UK and whenever you want some space or some alone time, its the perfect place as the outlets are usually really big and spaced out and very rarely get really busy. This has to be my favourite shop ever.

I was in the Northumberland Street branch recently, as I was visiting family in the North of…read moreEngland whilst I was back in the UK for a few weeks. I've visited the branch a few times over the years, and the majority of the staff have always been so lovely and incredibly helpful. However, during a recent conversation with a lovely and helpful staff member (we'll call them SM: A), another member of staff (we'll call them SM: B) randomly came briskly - almost marching - over to myself and SM: A, and proceeded to rudely interrupt our conversation, stopping it entirely, and THEN interject that SM: A needed to get back to work, implying therefore that they were not doing their job. Most times I have visited that particular branch over the years, SM: A has been present and I don't think I've ever seen them stop, much less slow down! Some other similar staff members, on the other hand, they seem as though if they slowed down any further they'd surely stop and proceed to go in reverse!

Monument Mall Shopping Centre is rather unusual, it is often somewhere one might not even notice is…read morethere and one might even confuse with intu Eldon Square, the rather large shopping centre which is nearby, Monument is located adjacent to Monument Metro Station, which in part is also next to the dining area of intu Eldon Square shopping mall. Monument does feature an interesting range of shops however including high end brands: Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, The White Company, of which are some of the more recent stores to come into the mall after the refurbishment. The Botanist, Jamie's Italian, Reiss and Fat Face also have stores here, with the first two named out of my second list being places one could go to eat. As I recall, there also is a rather large TKMaxx store here which is classed as a Flagship store and is one of the nicer branches of the chain I have seen. Most of the original shops and the building seems to be hidden and closed now and very few shops seem to remain in this mall which is a shame, to the point I don't even know if it is worth the title of a Mall at all anymore, for me all Monument is, is a nice introduction as shops as you walk up to intu Eldon Square mall and nothing more than that, I don't think the stores here are terrible as the likes of Jamie's Italian, Hugo Boss and Fenwick are nice to have in Newcastle Upon Tyne, but sadly the mall its-self as a concept and a business really isn't that good anymore and I can't even begin to understand why it managed to sell for a whopping £75m in December 2015.

July 6, 2024 Love…read morelove love The Biscuit Factory! Located in an old biscuit (cookie) factory, this beautiful old building displays contemporary art over several floors. Wide, open staircases carry you to each floor where your eyes take in the tastefully planned displays. Little benches here and there invite you to sit and soak in all the art. All the artwork is for sale. The best part for us - we enjoyed Afternoon Tea in the Biscuit Factory Cafe. We were able to choose from their regular offerings, vegetarian or vegan. Our delicious food included mini quiches, mini sandwiches, avocado toast, lemon blueberry cake, brownie bites and cherry scones with Chantilly cream. I know how much my partner loves me when when he gave me his little pot of that incredible cream! Free admission to the gallery. Really nice gift shop. Beautiful art!

It was not what I had expected going in, but I was pleasantly surprised! The Biscuit Factory is set…read moreup like an art gallery where all the pieces are for purchase. On the outside, it looks rather small but once you are inside, the rooms actually extend really far back and it is a lot bigger than you'd expect on both floors. One of my favorite things about this gallery is that most (if not all?) pieces here are made by local artists and a lot of the pieces they had were all tied to a Newcastle theme which is one of the reasons why I am very drawn to this gallery! The Biscuit Factory features so many unique pieces that you just aren't able to see in any musem or gallery.
