Free art gallery Brilliant views from platform at top I was there to watch Millennium Bridge raise right below. Best views of Tyne bridges

Visited the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art for a rare film festival in March 2026 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Took time to explore the free exhibitions as well, some linked to the programme. A place to return to — not least for the views over Newcastle and Gateshead.

Was down in newcastle for a few days,and walking along the tyne, when a couple of geotdie lassies told me to go over there to have a look. Honestly it's great finding these gems in cities and I loved it. Spoke to two friendly lassies in the place,, who were friendly, kind, and worked there and I did a 30 Min tour, on one of the exhibitions that was on, at that time. I highly recommend any visoter to this great city, to go there. ( only five min walk along from tyne bridge and walk over swingy bridge ( we have exact same bridge in Glasgow)

A very comfortable cafe serving a wide range of food and drinks. Great service and easy to find a seat. The gift shop opposite stocks a fabulous choice of handmade gifts for many imterests. Iconic galleries for contemporary art.

We had our wedding breakfast and reception at the Baltic and would highly recommend it! The venue itself was stunning; both the outside of it and also the views from within. We had our wedding breakfast on the top floor in restaurant SIX with amazing views over the Tyne and Gateshead. The food was great and we received lots of compliments from our guests for it. We had the evening reception in the Riverside room, with an outdoor terrace overlooking the Tyne. The sun was shining and the vibes on the terrace were perfect! The staff at the Baltic were great. The wedding planners helped us plan out every detail, coordinated with suppliers and were great on the day. We really appreciate all the hard work they all put in, and for looking after us so well. We had our dream wedding here and couldn’t have picked a better venue!
