A Little About This Space
Newcastle Central Station has recently been revamped. And with 20 million visitors from across the UK each year, it’s a gateway to this northern powerhouse of a city. Now it can be a gateway to your idea too – as part of a new weekly street market just outside the station.
Great ideas in food & drink are welcome to pitch up in the forecourt, with 8 market stalls available each week. Gifts, accessory and retail brands will also be considered. The landlord is Virgin Trains – so you can be sure they’ll be bringing real marketing power to the event.
The market launches spring 2016, and will take place Thurs-Sat each week. It’s £150 to rent a stall for three days and you’ll need to bring your own equipment and truck or stall. Bring your brand to locals, visitors and commuters alike as soon as they reach the city centre.
