Earlier this month I popped along to a preview evening of The Green Room – the brand new bar at Newcastle Theatre Royal!
If you know the Theatre Royal, you’ll know it’s one of the most iconic venues in the North East, and now it’s opened its doors in a whole new way.

Following on from their show earlier this month at South Causey, get ready for another three incredible nights of stand-up as some of the UK’s sharpest comedians take to the stage across the North East!

We’re a little way through June now, finally starting to get the good weather and I can’t wait for the summer to fully begin, but let me tell you – I absolutely LOVED the month of May! It was full of fun and full of bank holidays. I could definitely get used to having 3 of them a month…
On May 7th, we were invited along to Tyne Bank Brewery for their bank holiday Sunday sesh with The Cuban Brothers and let me tell you, it’s not a night I’ll be forgetting anytime soon.
Back in the Summer Adam and I headed along to The Engine Inn, Walbottle, for Sunday lunch and it’s easily the best roast I’ve had! I’ve been desperate to head back so was over the moon to be invited along with the family last week for a tasting night of their brand new winter menu which has just launched.
I know I’ve already said this but Autumn is my favourite season and it’s largely to do with Halloween, so you can imagine how excited I was to be invited along to Luna Events North East’s Haunted Halloween Market at the Roker Hotel on Friday 28th October 2022!
Last week I caught up with Dan, Louis and Alex, also known as North East indie rockers Big Romance about drawing a line under their old identity, writing a tune for South Shields Football Club and what to expect next from the band.
If you’ve followed my blog or Instagram for a while, you’ll probably know that I knew absolutely NOTHING about wrestling up until a few years ago when I met Adam. He was into wrestling so obviously, trying to be a good girlfriend, I showed an interest. Little did I know it would end up being something I love!
I’ve been to my fair share of shows over the past few years now, both WWE and independent promotions, so when Main Event Wrestling (MEW) in Newcastle invited me along to their latest show I jumped at the chance.
When I was a teen my Friday nights consisted of heading down to the Dunes in Shields with the girls and spending hours playing game after game of bowling and drinking one two many J20’s! Fast forward 10+ years and bowling is still one of my favourite activities to do whether it’s with a big group of friends or for a date night. That’s why I was over the moon to be invited down to Newcastle’s brand new bowling spot, Gorilla!

I think you’ll be seeing plenty of food posts on the blog this year, so let’s start it off with a visit to one of Newcastle’s newest spots – The Hustle!
Taking up residence in the old Tiger Tiger/Eden site at the heart of the city centre, the building has certainly had quite the glow up since I was last there. It has been transformed into a stunning bar, grill and disco lounge with an extensive drinks menu and an excellent New York style tapas menu.
