St James' Park
The home ground of Newcastle United, with a stadium holding about 52,000 right by the city centre. Stadium tours are available.
St James’ Park is the home of Newcastle United. Matches have been played here since 1892, and the stadium now holds about 52,000 people, making it England’s seventh-largest football stadium. It sits close to the city centre, about a 10-minute walk from Central Station. On match days the whole city wears black-and-white stripes, and the atmosphere is electric. On non-match days, you can take a tour of about an hour, visiting the dressing rooms, the players’ tunnel and the press room. The club shop is open year-round. Tickets for Premier League matches are in high demand and should be bought through official channels.
