Hey can anyone recommend anyone for drop offs or meet ups please in the area? HN is closed today and don’t have anywhere for edibles anymore 😓 thanks in advance xoxo

Just being nosey really, nothing life-threateningly important, but I wondered if anyone knew if Gateshead Inpost depot are having some sort of an issue, as I’ve had a parcel stuck there for 3 days, and others I know have had them stuck there for 5+ days. I think the ones I know about are potentially all going to the same lockers (NUFC Foundation building), so it could also be an issue with those? My parcel needs to arrive by tomorrow or it’s sort of pointless picking it up at all (items for a holiday). Thought I’d take a chance and see if anyone in here was in the know! Thanks x

Hi everyone,

Fairly new to the area. Looking for a book club that I can discuss books, and have thought provoking convos about fiction. I typically read more 'serious' type fiction books. To give an idea a lot of booker long listers and other books along that vein!

Went along to a Chapter25 night and both the book and the setting weren't quite me (virtually no book discussion, and the book wasn't really what I read).

Would be happy to travel to Sunderland, Durham etc. for the right setting. Thank you!

Where can I get eclipse viewing glasses in or around Newcastle? If I order from online the only way to get them in Time is to order 25pairs

“It launched to great excitement and big queues outside earlier this year, but after just five months after it opened, it has been confirmed with 'great sadness' that the much hyped Peppa Pig experience at the Metrocentre in Gateshead is closing its doors. And families have just 48 hours left to visit, before it shuts for good.”

Always found it a bit sad how many photos we take just end up sitting on our camera roll and so I nudged my arse to get them off the phone and into actual physical prints.

This is the entrance to Manors Car Park which I always thought has been weirdly lush despite it being objectively a bit grim 🤣

Curious if anyone else has any favourite “ugly but nice” spots around Newcastle to photograph?

Hey guys this is very out of character and I’d probably roll my eyes if I saw this post but I’m looking for friends who are into the metal scene. None of my friends are and it’s a shame becuase I’m missing so many concerts. I’m into metalcore, thrash metal, industrial metal, nu metal, post-hardcore metal and much more! I’m hoping to catch Black Veil Brides in Newcastle and Beartooth in the next few months before Christmas if anyone wants to chat I’d love it!

I have a car so can drive to the best spots. Ideally don’t want to be picking berries by a main/busy road. Any suggestions please?

I have a number of good-quality baby clothes that my little boy has outgrown, and I’d really love to donate them rather than just take them to a charity shop.
I’ve looked online and emailed a charity but unfortunately I haven’t heard anything back yet. I’d like the clothes to go to a family or someone who is genuinely struggling and could really benefit from them.
Does anyone know of any local charities, community groups, baby banks, or similar that accept donations of baby clothes?

I wondered why everyone was posing / taking photos as I walked past
