Visited with my wife and we are still in awe of how beautiful and intricate the cathedral is. We were lucky enough to listen to the choir practicing and it moved us to tears how magnificent and beautiful it sounded.
Frida was a very informative and insightful guide.
Nice cathedral.The Organ was playing when we popped in around 5pm Friday. Not too loud. Lots of history..obvs 🥸. There is a cafe. Loos 🚻. equipped for disabled access ♿️
Whenever I am passing through Newcastle, I make sure it will be a Thursday, has the cathedral as live music. This cathedral is outstanding that it allows Street people to use this building for shelter, where they can use the toilets and get a hot drink. It also supports ex prisoners, with help to return to them to ther families-in my view outstanding! On a Thursday they have a group of musicians playing Irish music, anyone can join in and play from 2:00 till 4. This cafe must have the best selections of cake in Newcastle, yesterday I had a BLT sandwich, a large slice of lemon drizzle, and a pot of tea it was just £8.
On my way out, I met 'carol'a volunteer lay person, she was in the main part of a church giving spiritual support to anyone, So with the support to prisoners and the local Street people, live music and beautiful cake , what are cracking vibrant place this cathedral is, it is somewhere to take the pressure off life, get spiritual support and a slice of cake!
