Newcastle Castle

Newcastle Castle is the medieval fortress that gave the city its name, made up of two surviving buildings: the 12th-century Castle Keep and the 13th-century Black Gate gatehouse, separated by the railway viaduct into Newcastle Central Station.

It is run as a museum and heritage attraction by the Heart of the City Partnership, a registered charity, and both buildings are available for private hire. Spaces include the Great Hall and the Keep roof, with its views across the Tyne, and the Black Gate holds a room licensed for civil ceremonies.
