STACK Newcastle announce bumper Bank Holiday programme for final hurrah

STACK Newcastle has announced a bumper Bank Holiday weekend of activities before their permanent closure.

The popular outdoor food and drink space announced that it would cease business earlier this year as it makes way for the Pilgrim Quarter development in the city centre.

STACK broke the "extremely sad news" online as customers flocked to share happy memories and dismay that the location would be going out of busniess.

At the time, STACK promised a busy final weeks before closure and that will culminate with this weekend's May Bank Holiday.

Here's what's on the programme for each day over the three-day weekend as the business puts on one last hurrah.

Tempered Glass will open the day at 11:30 am, followed by Taylor Payne at 2 pm and Bicker Duo at 4:45 pm.

After that, customers will take centre stage as Kroud Karaoke begins at 7:30 pm.

DJ Aaron Robson will then play from 9 pm until close.
