Newcastle's Grey's Monument and Guildhall open for special summer tours

Opportunities to climb Grey's Monument and explore the closed-up rooms of the Guildhall are included in a summer events programme designed to encourage people to spend more time in the city centre.

The chance to see behind the scenes at a few of Newcastle's historic buildings and landmarks forms part of the NE1 Summer in the City programme which is now under way. It includes events and activities for all ages and, with plenty attractions for children too, it will be running throughout the school holidays.

The Newcastle tours on the summer bill will take in the 18th Century All Saints Church in Lower Pilgrim Street, and its panoramic views on August 11 at 10.30am and on August 25 at 2.30pm and the long-closed Guildhall which will open for a tour at 2.30pm on August 23. There also will be tours of Grey’s Monument on August 13 and 27.
