Excitement is building and with less than a week before NE1’s Newcastle Motor Show, the UK’s largest open-air, city centre Motor Show event, gets underway leading dealerships are starting to announce the showstoppers they will be bringing to the festival.

From the fast and the furious to the luxurious and limited, cars of all shapes and sizes will be congregating in Newcastle for the city’s 2nd annual NE1 Newcastle Motor Show on the weekend of the 9th and 10th July.

An innovative, fast track chef’s training course, run by NE1 Ltd in conjunction with Newcastle College and three of Newcastle’s leading restaurants, Babucho, 21 Hospitality Group and Hot Buddha Group, has reached its successful conclusion with five of the first batch of recruits walking into jobs, apprenticeships and further training for a future career in the restaurant industry.

This year when NE1 Quayside Seaside returns to the banks of the Tyne, for the fifth year running, there will be an exciting new addition to the pop up beach. Subject to all the necessary planning permissions, which are still pending, Riley’s Fish Shack will take up residence on the beach for the duration of the summer holidays to add a new foodie dimension to the ever popular, NE1 Quayside Seaside.
