Mix it up with Treasure Hunt Newcastle this Father's day

Posted on June 1, 2024

A pirate map leading to grog for father’s day!

With Father’s day coming up, it can be hard to think of something original to get for your dad. Is it going to be another gift pack of beers with a cheesy card from Tesco? You can do better!

How about mixing it up this year with a trip into town to play Treasure Hunt Newcastle? It’s a fun way to spend some quality time with Dad, getting out the house in the (hopefully) lovely June weather.

“My daughter (older teen) and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon in glorious sunshine taking our time around the Treasure Hunt. Although tricky at times we only opted for 2 hints and found the course very doable. We stopped for a drink and a snack so it took most of the afternoon, but we were in no rush and got to see all of the sights of Newcastle with some interesting history and facts along the way. A great idea for a self-guided tour of the city.”

It’s designed for adults, so you’ll have a laugh together (8+ are welcome too if you want to make a family day of it).

You’ll be testing out your essential pirate skills - following treasure maps, solving cryptic clues, and looking carefully around the city to find the answers. You’ll all be led around the city by a bossy pirate character who sends messages to your phones.

Plenty of pubs 🍺

Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time for ale and grog along the way if Dad rebels. We’ve planned a carefully designed route that passes some of Newcastle’s best pubs and cafes so you won’t go thirsty.

There are some great pubs and cafes by the Quayside.

You’ll find some useful info for your voyage here.

Last minute? No problem! ⌛

What’s more, if you’re disorganised like me and you’re reading this on Sunday morning, no problem! You can book last minute, unlike the restaurants which are all booked up.

Have a laugh this Father’s day, book now!

“We had a great time doing Treasure Hunt Newcastle! It was a really good length and took us all round the city, so it was a perfect way to orientate ourselves for the rest of the weekend. The clues were a good level of challenge, and there was always a helpful hint if we needed it! Plus plenty of great recommendations for places to stop for a well earned pint. Would highly recommend to anyone!”
