2. 
ABOVE
Atop the Vermont Hotel, ABOVE offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding city whilst you drink and dine the night away. Not only will you be in awe of the view around you, but the bar's interior design is also second to none within the UK.
The bar serves a range of Japanese cuisine along with some simpler flatbreads and chips, and a fabulous selection of cocktails, mocktails, wine, and spirits. Bring your favourite person along to an unforgettable night looking across the bustling city of Newcastle and save on travel with duo tickets from Northern.
3. Glamorous Owl
Want to get the creative juices flowing this Valentine’s Day in Newcastle? Glamorous Owl’s jewellery workshop has multiple classes going on every day to teach people how to create their own rings and bangles from sterling silver. The jewellery you and your partner create will be entirely personal and unique to you and there’s the added chance you may come away with a newfound passion for jewellery craftsmanship.
The Glamorous Owl also offers a workshop for two so you and your beau can get personal teaching with your creations. With an anytime ticket with Northern, you could also get there before your appointment to look at their magnificent jewellery and get inspiration from the masters.
4. Canny Chocolate Co.
A slightly different workshop, Canny Chocolate Co. is exactly what it sounds like: a shop entirely dedicated to chocolate; what’s not to like? Pick from a range of workshops, from eclairs to tarts to a range of delicious chocolates. Canny Chocolate Co. has the perfect workshop for you.
The workshops are also perfect for a Galentine's Day celebration as each class is tailored for a maximum of 6 people.
However, this class isn’t just about making, as, most importantly, you’ll get to taste your perfect creation as well as a pro's. If you’re still looking for things to do on Valentine’s Day, don’t hesitate to grab a spot with your gang or partner and save with Northern’s group tickets.
5. Spot White
If you’re still looking for a fun Valentine’s Day idea in Newcastle, then perhaps Spot White is the “spot” for you. They have pool and snooker, and their bar offers a range of drinks and food, from one of China’s best exports, the bao bun, to a classic burger.
However, this bar is highly coveted because it’s open till late… very late, 7am at the weekends to be precise. Meaning, that once you’ve been through the usual dinner and drinks and perhaps an activity, you can still get a few games of pool or just a drink somewhere that isn’t a club. If you plan on staying out late, then an anytime ticket is the perfect purchase for you and yours to allow you to celebrate through the night.
