Pop-Up Hospital Family Fun Day
17th February @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
FREEJoin staff from the Great North Children’s Hospital for an insight into their amazing work — and let your little ones hop inside a real ambulance (subject to availability on the day)! We’re also excited to welcome the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service and the Northumbria Police Cadets, who’ll bring fun activities and give families a fascinating peek into what they do to keep our communities safe.
This drop-in activity day is FREE to attend with no pre-booking required and is suitable for all ages… especially families!
Please note: Great North Children’s Hospital staff will stop for their lunch break at 12:30pm. Activities will resume at 1pm.
The Newcastle Community Health Bus (“Monty”) will be in St Nicholas’ Square during the Pop-Up Hospital Family Fun Day at the Cathedral. Drop by for free heart, blood pressure, and cholesterol checks, plus friendly health advice. No appointment needed. Closed 1–1:30pm.
