A brand-new quarter for the whole city

Our former brewery has been transformed into Newcastle Helix, a buzzing new city centre quarter with amazing events and places to eat, drink and work. And best of all, it’s open to absolutely everyone.

Grab a bite to eat. Catch up with mates over coffee. Listen to a public talk in the amphitheatre. Learn how we collect and use data. Bring the kids around for amazing science demonstrations. Pop in, ask questions and have a chat. Because as a resident of the city, this is your space to discover.
