Because Newcastle is outside our Teesside heartland, we plan travel, shift patterns and cover with you in advance, and we tell you plainly what we can staff.
Security in Newcastle upon Tyne: what local sites deal with
Newcastle’s nightlife is one of its defining features. The Bigg Market and The Gate complex on Newgate Street are well-known evening destinations, and the Quayside area features bars, restaurants and hotels below the Tyne Bridge. High numbers of licensed premises and large evening crowds make properly licensed door supervision and sensible capacity management essential.
The city has two large universities, Newcastle University and Northumbria University, and a major event calendar. St James’ Park, home of Newcastle United since 1886, draws large crowds on match days, Newcastle Racecourse holds race meetings, and the Theatre Royal, the Life Science Centre and the BALTIC on the Gateshead Quayside add cultural events. Large crowds, queues and entrances need planning, and so does the transport network: Newcastle Central Station, the Metro and Newcastle International Airport move large numbers of people.
Retail is concentrated in Eldon Square Shopping Centre and the Grainger Market, with the Metrocentre across the river in Gateshead. The city also hosts significant development: Newcastle Helix, a 24-acre innovation district developed by Newcastle City Council and Newcastle University on former industrial land, includes The Core and The Catalyst. Construction at city-centre scale usually involves tight sites, public footfall and neighbouring occupiers, all of which affect how access control and patrols are arranged. The Port of Tyne adds a significant maritime and logistics presence.
