I am going over to the Universities on Wednesday and my flight is at 8.00pm but the open day finished at 3pm. What is there to do in Newcastle?

Baltic arts centre, Gateshead Quayside (Modern art, if you like that thing, I find it hilarious)
Laing Art Gallery, near university, proper art.
Hancock Museum, again near universities, interesting.
Discovery Museum, more science based than history museum.
Numerous bars etc. Centurion in central station is good as it has impressive decor and is by the metro station, so you can get your plane.
Exhibition Park/Other Parks.
The castle.
St. James Park, second largest club ground in the UK (though soon to be beaten by Ashburton Grove)
The sage music centre on Gateshead Quayside.
Shops, if you like that kind of thing.
I'm sure you'll find something of interest to do.

If this is Newcastle Uk then you need more than a few hours! Head for the Quayside and take in The Sage Music Centre and The Baltic Arts Centre. Walk across The Millenium Bridge. There are some fab bars and restaurants along there as well You can visit The Castle Keep (The New Castle) or go To China town or shop along Northumberland Street-all are within walking distance of the Unis BUT the airport is about 20-30 mins from city centre depending on the traffic.

Depends on what you're into.
For shopping there's Northumberland Street, and the Eldon Square/Eldon Gardens (shopping centre.)
The Hancock Museum (right next to Newcastle University) is pretty good.
You can go inside the Castle Keep (all that's left of the castle the city got it's name from.) There's not much of it left, but it's still worth a visit.
Take a walk down to the Quayside to see the bridges. The Tyne Bridge and the Millenium Bridge are the most famous. There are also lots of pubs down by the Quayside.
Really you need more than a couple of hours to see Newcastle, but I hope this helps anyway. And make sure you leave town in plenty of time to get to the airport!

About 20 mins walk from the University ( down Northumberland St - which is the main shopping street) and you will end up at the Quayside. If you can't find it, just ask anyone, we're a friendly bunch.
Here you will see the iconic Tyne Bridge, you can walk over the award winning Millenium Bridge, there is the fabulous Baltic Art Gallery (this is not your average art gallery - its a bit different). Also the Sage Music Centre - one of the most achitectually advanced buildings of the modern age.
There are loads of bars and restaurants where you can get something to eat before your flight home.
And the good news is that the weather forecast is pretty good for Wednesday. Newcastle is always better in the sunshine.

The Newcastle in Oklahoma? Oh boy, Newcastle has always been a boring place for me to visit. Try taking long drives to the towns outside of Newcastle in search of a new adventure.

Go to a Pub. Drink some Newcastle Brown Ale.
