You Are Here: NOVUM

The city is the stage. You are the story.

Pop on a headset and explore the city through the voices of the people who know it best.

Part audio trail. Part live performance. Stories unfold as you move through the city.

You Are Here: NOVUM is a playful guided audio experience where Newcastle city centre becomes a living map of stories, memories, music, hidden corners and unexpected moments, woven together from local memories, music and lived experience.

Led by a live performer and experienced through wireless headphones, you'll explore Newcastle in a completely new way.

Perfect for curious locals, visitors and anyone who loves a good story.
