So what makes Newcastle, the largest city in the North East, such a mecca for partying? Well, quite frankly, it’s a combination of lots of things. Newcastle has seen a complete rejuvenation in the last decade with much greater links with Gateshead, south of the river, in fact it’s almost impossible now to say Newcastle without adding Gateshead on too. Think along the lines of Buda and Pest!!

Billions has been pumped into the economy of the area with the newly constructed, eye-catching Millennium Bridge, allowing even better access to Gateshead whilst architectural developments like the Sage and the Baltic offer arts and culture to a growing tourist trade and residents alike.

The result is a stylish, modern and totally cosmopolitan city, that’s ready willing and able to host your hen weekend in Newcastle.

But hey girls, if you don’t mind, we’d like to take just a little of your time to delve into its past – to give you an insight into why it’s such a fab place - you never know what you might learn!

Newcastle certainly has had a chequered history and was founded in the 2nd century during the Roman occupation. Hadrian famously built his wall to prevent the Scots invading and certain parts still remain today in Newcastle. It spans the width of Britain and finishes at the roman fort in Wallsend – literally meaning the wall’s end. Does what it says on the tin!!

After various battles in Anglo-Saxon times William the Conqueror’s son built a wooden castle here in 1080 and from then on the town was known as New Castle.

Newcastle has had its fair share of rebellions and successfully defended itself three times in the 14th century against the Scots. However it was in the 16th century that the rivalry between Geordies and Mackems started with the royal act, which restricted the shipment of coal from Tyneside to Newcastle quayside. This gave Newcastle a monopoly on coal trade and hence the phrase “coals to newcastle” was coined. However, while Newcastle prospered their near neighbours, Sunderland, suffered and this Tyneside/ Wearside rivalry still exists today. It’s usually most vocal when they play the derby match at St James Park – where the chants can be heard across the city, you know how passionate the boys get at their footie matches!

Shipbuilding and engineering became the backbone of Newcastle’s prosperity in the 19th century and it was the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution in the UK. Innovations which would change the world started here such as the electric light bulb by Joseph Swan – (not Thomas Edison as the Americans would have it) and Stephenson’s Rocket, safety lamps and the invention of the steam turbine which would in turn lead to marine propulsion and the production of cheap electricity.

So you see, Newcastle really has a rich history of grit and determination which is why, when the shipbuilding trade and engineering fizzled out in the second half of the 20th century, Newcastle really had to dig deep to reinvent itself all over again.

But don’t be expecting grim northerners with frowns on their sour faces – no way – think chic and sophisticated, trend setting and high flying with the best in bars and clubs and the funkiest sounds around. There’s a real buzz around the city with students, tourists and Geordies all rubbing shoulders in the bars and clubs. It’s well recognised that one can’t survive without the other so you will always be made very welcome on your Newcastle hen nights. Read on to find out more about what is on offer for a great time on your hen party in Newcastle and just how FREEDOM can help you get the maximum fun for the minimum effort!
