A big welcome to Newcastle’s new and returning students #freshersweek

The Grainger Market has been bustling this week and last with the start of the academic year at the city’s universities.

Its been good to see new and returning students alike exploring the shops and alleys of the Grainger Market.

Today (Friday 27 September) there’s a Grainger Market stall at Newcastle University’s freshers week, located in a marquee just outside the Union building.  You can pick up information leaflets all about the Grainger Market and find out about some of the market’s traders.  And you can purchase a Grainger Market bag for £1, instead of the usual price of £2.

There’s also stalls from other local and independent businesses.  When I passed this morning there was also another marquee being put up, so there may be other activities happening as well.

The Grainger Market stall is there til 5pm this evening.
