Discover Newcastle's hidden past on this exclusive walking tour through Midtown's most storied venues.
Uncover tales of the lost Chinatown, shanghai and crimping practices, unsolved murders, money lenders, and forgotten graveyards, all while enjoying drinks at historic locations.
This special Midtown launch night offers a free tour (with priced ticketing being introduced after our trial run, so get in quick!), covering Newcastle's history from its earliest days to recent times. Each venue stop reveals another layer of the district's fascinating and sometimes scandalous past. You may even encounter special guest appearances along the way.
