Coach Hire Gateshead

Located in Tyne and Wear on the southern bank of the River Tyne, Gateshead blends rich industrial heritage with vibrant cultural landmarks. At the heart of this innovative town is the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a striking tilting bridge that links Gateshead to Newcastle and reflects the area’s forward-thinking spirit. 

From the towering Angel of the North, a contemporary sculpture that has become an icon of the North East, to the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, a converted flour mill showcasing bold and world-class exhibitions, there’s no shortage of sights to see. Music lovers can enjoy unforgettable performances at the Glasshouse International Centre for Music (formerly The Sage), an architectural landmark known for its curved glass and stainless-steel structure.

For a breath of fresh air, Saltwell Park, affectionately known as "The People's Park," offers peaceful green space for relaxing strolls and group gatherings. And if shopping is on your itinerary, the Metrocentre, one of Europe’s largest indoor shopping and leisure complexes, has everything from high-street favourites to entertainment and dining. 

SMC Coach Hire offers affordable and luxurious options alike. Wherever your Gateshead adventure takes you, travel with ease and confidence.
