Newcastle-upon-Tyne Arts Centre, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, United Kingdom
The Newcastle Upon Tyne Arts Centre is a fine and performing arts center in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This is founded in July 1981 by Mike and Norma Tilley and was formed by seven abandon buildings in the area at that time. However, during 1988, it was Prince Charles who finally opened the Newcastle Arts Centre. There were many additions throughout the year because, by the end of the 1980's, many photographs, visual arts, and audio productions, including the Northern Stage and New Writing North Productions have been added to the center. As a result of the magnificent works done in the center, the record shows that the center is visited by around 80,000 visitors per year since 1993. The Newcastle Arts Centre was eventually recognized with a prestigious Times Community Enterprise Award.
Location-wise, accommodations that are situated just a walking distance from the center include the 4-star Hotel Indigo Newcastle and the well-booked Sleeperz Hotel Newcastle. These hotels are also located close to O2 Academy New Castle and Bigg Market.
Newcastle is also accessible to Gateshead, where the infamous Angel of the North is located. The Angel of the North is a contemporary steel sculpture of an angel with a 20-meter height while the wings are about 54 meters. This sculpture has become one of the most significant symbols in the UK. Ranked as number one in many travel sites is the Never Give Up Newcastle, a 1-hour game experience to test the gamer's mental and physical skills. This game is available from aged 8 and above, because of its horrifying graphic contents.
