Metrocentre team up with Newcastle United Foundation for half term family activities

From magical performances to thrilling adventures, immersive mini-golf, and blockbuster films, there is plenty going on for families to enjoy.

This half term will see the site team up with the Newcastle United Foundation to bring more activities to the shopping centre including table tennis sessions, table football, velcro darts and more. The club’s community arm will be based in their Careers Hub in the Upper Green Mall of the Metrocentre.

Elsewhere across the site, the popular dragon school show is set to return with sessions every two hours from midday until 6pm from Monday to Friday as well as three sessions per day on the Satuday and Sunday of half term week. These shows involve magic performances and no bookings are required.
