Venture into the shadows of Blackfriars for an unforgettable evening where centuries of rich history collide with the cinematic world of 28 Years Later, filmed right here in Newcastle.
Begin your experience with a zombie-themed cocktail on arrival, followed by a three-course set dinner and coffee in our historic restaurant. Afterwards, join our expert guide for a 45-minute tour through the dark corners of a 13th-century former Dominican friary the oldest dining room in the UK and a jewel of Newcastle’s medieval past.
Uncover tales of plague, panic, and survival as fiction and fact collide in a city that’s withstood it all. This is a journey through time from monastic life and medieval turbulence to modern-day chaos all set within the atmospheric walls of a Grade I Scheduled Ancient Monument.
