Hi all!
I opened a gaming venue and hobby shop in Newcastle, Byker, back in October and we have a great community of gamers. We are called Northern Alliance Games and are in Hoults yard (Links below). I opened to support the local gaming community as there was a shortage of big spaces to play that were accessible and welcoming.
We are open Wednesday - Saturday and 2nd and 4th Sundays.
What we have here:
We are well stocked with terrain for our 16+ 6’ x 4’ tables. We also have smaller rooms with tables that are great for board gaming and card games, or if you just want to game in a quiet environment. Our 6x4 tables are at a good height for gaming, so less sore backs! But we also have the option for lower tables if needed.
We support all games here, and if you don’t see your game system being played, drop us a message and we will see what we can do!
Events
We run regular gaming nights, currently the most popular being:
-
Fortnightly Marvel Crisis Protocol which regularly has around 10 players
-
Weekly Thursday night MTG commander nights, most recently having 24 attendees.
-
Weekly Thursday night Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game gaming nights, with regularly 10+ players.
-
Fortnightly Infinity and Moonstone groups that are growing.
We host and run many different competitive events, such as:
-
Weekly MTG draft nights
-
Monthly MCP tournaments
-
Recurring Horus Heresy, 40k and AoS events.
-
And plans for more!
We support local gaming clubs when we can. Heaton gaming club and Newcastle Warlords both meet at our venue now.
Cafe and shop
We serve barista-style coffees, as well as your usual teas and other soft drinks. We are also well stocked with high-quality cakes and cookies from a local bakery and chocolate business.
There is an onsite hobby shop, with an ever-expanding selection of items, aiming to price things at least 10% below RRP. If there is anything you don’t see on the shelves, let us know and we can look into getting it in for you.
