General admission is free but throughout the year some special exhibits and activities may have a charge. Since July, a special exhibition about the impact of the 1989 earthquake has been running. On the 30th anniversary of the quake, revisiting the stories has helped people to mend as well as opening old wounds and provides a poignant personal insight for visitors.



The staff are friendly and helpful and are assisted by a band of passionate volunteers who give guided tours . is well set out for visitors and has enough going on that one can revisit regularly. There is a cafe on-site as well as a shop where you can buy uniquely Newcastle items and a tourist information centre.
