A pop-up park, deckchairs and plants are bringing a blast of colour as well as a holiday vibe to Newcastle, in readiness for six weeks of fun.
The annual NE1 Summer in the City programme gets properly under way this weekend and among its free highlights is a 'linear park' on the Quayside and attractions including outdoor seating, art installations and games dotted around the city.
The programme is all designed to encourage everyone to spend more leisure time in Newcastle where join-in activities will range from Monday morning 'mindfulness' sessions on the Quayside - starting this week, July 25, at 8.30am - to sports, music and dance, while there also will be plenty of tempting opportunities to just pause, take a seat and relax.
