Singles Appreciation Day with the Lasses: Newcastle
We can’t all be lucky enough to bag a date for the most romantic date on the calendar. The pressure that comes surrounding February 14 is pretty astronomical, and while you can hope and dream that Prince Charming may come your way, when reality hits, there’s only one thing for it… a weekend away with the lasses.
Where better to celebrate single life than in the party capital of the north, Newcastle. Gather up the girls and get numbers together, and look online for low cost deals on Travelodge hotels in Newcastle. Keeping the costs of the basics as low as possible Travelodge allows 2-3 adults per standard room, meaning that the room rate for your night is so low, you’ll have extra cash to splash on having an epic time in the city.
Retail therapy has to be on the cards. Whether you’re looking for an outfit for your big night out, or you’re just browsing the windows of Fenwicks and Westwoods, Newcastle really does pull out all the stops when it comes to shopping.
As well as the landmark stores, Gateshead’s Metrocentre is the largest retail entertainment complex in the country, offering a massive selection of shops and eateries, with an impressive sprinkle of entertainment facilities. Nearby Eldon Square is yet another string to Newcastle’s retail bow.
How do you fancy being ladies who lunch? Have a look online at Jesmond Dene House and consider booking the girls in for a Champagne afternoon tea, before you head back to the hotel to get your glad rags on for a night on the town.
Seeing as you’re heading to the North East, why not book a table at the well loved Pan Haggerty restaurant. Moderately pricy, but completely worth every penny, this eatery fuses traditional local dishes with contemporary techniques to create an inspiring and innovative Geordie cuisine.
The clubs may be calling, but could it be time to educate yourselves on the intricacies of wine tasting at the Newcastle Wine School. Evening tastings start at approximately £22 and are ideal for all who have no experience (professionally, of course) of tasting wines. Depending on your preferred vino, there are a number of dates scheduled to cover a wide selection of wines.
Although time spent in Newcastle with your friends should comprise of a massively immense party session, take time out of your weekend to indulge in some luxurious spa treatments. Malmaison in Newcastle is the home of the chain’s highly-acclaimed Le Petite Spa.
After a night on the tiles, why not check in for a Half Day Holistic ESPA package, inclusive of bubbles, strawberries and lunch. This is the way to live the single life – a full aromatherapy back massage, facial and your choice of either a manicure or pedicure, to boot.
Get the good times with the girls rolling today and look online at great deals on Travelodge hotels in Newcastle this February. Book up and get ready to party – February 14? So 2012! 2013 is all about February 15, and don’t you know it. 🙂 – Travel Feeder, the ultimate travel photo blog.
