YOUR FORTNIGHTLY
GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON
You’re wearing your socks for bed, the knitwear in your wardrobe is
back on rotation, and the sight of a bowl of hot soup makes you feel as
warm on the inside as the taste - that’s right, autumn’s here to slowly
turn us all into our own grandparents.
That’s a good thing though, because there’s not just the tactile
satisfaction of crunching leaves underfoot to excite you; oh no, as the
city’s assorted cultural and social hotspots are all whirring into life to
keep you entertained, and the blood in the hands flowing.
Fear not though, as we’re here to keep you informed and up-to-date
with all the seasonal delight Newcastle’s soon to be overspilling with.
Plus, with hats and scarves at the ready, we’re the perfect
accompaniment to a frosty day out. After all, unlike that touchscreen of
yours, this magazine still works perfectly when you’re wearing gloves.
