NewcastleGateshead
NewcastleGateshead is a brand-name associated with the joint promotion of culture, business and tourism within the conurbation formed by Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead.[1] With the use of printed matter and a website, the organisation produces, assembles activities and information into effective communication for local and regional visitors. The group organises various music and art-related events to attract tourism to the region. In 2006, NewcastleGateshead was voted as the arts capital of the UK in a survey conducted by the Artsworld TV channel,[2]
It failed in its bid for the status of 2008 European Capital of Culture, when the honour went to Liverpool.[3] In 2023 the NewcastleGateshead Initiative claimed it had brought significant investment to the region, resulting in the creation of c. 1,000 jobs.[4] The Chief Executive of the initiative, Sarah Green, was awarded an OBE in the 2025 New Year Honours for services to tourism.[5]
