Students from 152 different countries will be arriving in Newcastle over the next month and 25 days of celebrations have been organised to welcome them to the city.

NE1 Newcastle Restaurant Week is over for another year, it’s fifth successive year, and the results from participating restaurants show that August’s event was the most successful yet with a 20% average increase on last year’s figures. More than 40,000 diners took advantage of the Restaurant Week offer generating over ½ million pounds extra revenue for participating restaurants.

In the long summer days when you can’t face another BBQ – Newcastle has a wonderful alternative in the shape of NE1 Newcastle Restaurant Week.
