Unwrap Adventure with Treasure Hunt Newcastle this Christmas

Posted on November 1, 2025

A group of friends walking away from a Christmas market on a treasure hunt

Christmas is coming whether we’re ready or not. And if you’re after something a bit different this year – something that doesn’t involve another pub quiz or the usual festive routine – you might want to give Treasure Hunt Newcastle a go. The Christmas markets are setting up, the lights are going on, and Newcastle is looking rather festive. Perfect timing for a treasure hunt, really. Plus, if you’re stuck for gift ideas (and let’s face it, who isn’t?), we’ve sorted that too.

Forget the three Christmas spirits – Captain Bess is your guide this year. She’ll show you Newcastle through fresh eyes, mixing a bit of history with some proper mystery-solving.

You’ll be wandering around Newcastle with all the Christmas decorations up, following clues on your phone and discovering things you’ve probably walked past a hundred times before. It’s part treasure hunt, part city tour, and Bess keeps things entertaining with messages that actually make you smile rather than cringe.

Go at your own pace – stop for mulled wine, grab a bite at the Christmas market, take as many photos as you like. It’s your adventure. Ready to get started? Book your spot here!

Our game starts and ends on Grey Street so it’s right in the heart of the Christmas markets- you could even catch the window display in Fenwicks before you get started!

Organising the work do? 🍻🎄

Still haven’t sorted the Christmas do? This could be exactly what you need. Keep everyone together or split into teams for a bit of friendly competition. Last team to the pub gets the round in!.

A brilliant gift idea - in 16 cities 🎁🎅

Been one of those years that’s flown by? If you’re stuck for gifts for people who already have everything (or claim they don’t want anything), our vouchers might just save you.

We’ve got treasure hunts in 16 cities across the UK, so chances are there’s one near whoever you’re buying for.

They look proper smart tucked in a stocking or under the tree, and if you’re the last-minute type, you can print them at home or send them digitally. No judgment here – we’ve all been there.

“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!”
