A dedicated Fanzone is to be created at Old Eldon Square during NE1 Newcastle Motor Show this year, the first dedicated entertainment and play area to be created during the weekend event, which is now in its 3rd year and is already one of the UK’s largest, free, open-air city centre motor shows in the UK.

There will be a dramatic new addition to this year’s NE1 Newcastle Motor Show – the first ever, live-action fast paced, precision driving on Hood Street, adjacent to Grey’s Monument, in the heart of Newcastle. Performed by one of the world’s leading stunt drivers, Paul Swift, who is renowned worldwide and has a host of film and TV credits to his name including work on BBC’s Top Gear.

NE1’s Screen on The Green returns this Saturday 1st July in preparation for a summer of free, open air screenings of family movies, national and international sporting action and a major coup for the city, a new cultural offering, two open air Operas broadcast directly from the Royal Opera House in London.

NE1 Ltd is delighted to announce that DFDS are headline sponsors of this year’s NE1 Newcastle Motor Show which will be taking place on the 8th and 9th July. The two day event, one of the largest free, city centre, open air motor shows in the UK, will now be delivered in association with DFDS, the world’s leading ferry company.
