One of our favourite places to kick back and chill with friends! Lane 7 is a stone’s throw away from Newcastle’s Central Station and should be your first stop on your hen party in the city! But forget everything you thought you knew about bowling alleys – Lane 7 is no typical skittle slinger.

They took a bowling alley concept and thought, why not throw some ping pong in for good measure? A sing song on the karaoke? Or let’s go all out – beer pong anyone?

With so much to do at Lane 7 Newcastle, you could spend the entire evening there!

For those of you into the arts and culture, The Great North Museum, or the Hancock Museum, as the locals like to call it, is one of the most interesting places in Newcastle to visit on your hen party!

Take a walk around and visit the Ancient Egypt gallery where you can view famous mummies and other ancient Egyptian artefacts from the British Museum. Pop into Hadrian’s Wall gallery where you can see an inscription stone, which proves the wall was visited and inspected by Emperor Hadrian!
