The Pink Triangle and the Quayside - Newcastle Pride

Newcastle Pride takes place in July in one of England's most energetic cities. The Pink Triangle around Waterloo Street and the Bigg Market is Newcastle's gay district. The Quayside on the Tyne, with its spectacular bridges (the Millennium Bridge, the Tyne Bridge) and converted warehouses, is the city's most vibrant area. Newcastle has a reputation for extraordinary nightlife energy and a warmth (and notably light-dressed resilience to cold) that makes Pride here uniquely spirited.

The region has experienced significant economic changes since the decline of heavy industry, but Newcastle itself has reinvented itself as a destination city with strong arts and university culture.

The history of Newcastle Gay Pride

Newcastle has held Pride events since the 1990s. The Pink Triangle developed as the gay district through this period.

Staying with a misterb&b host in Newcastle upon Tyne for Pride 2026

Unlike a hotel, a misterb&b stay puts you in a real apartment, with a real local connection, in a city at its most electric.
