commercial gay scenes in the north east

This is the most comprehensive guide on the Internet to the gay scene in the North East.

Sadly neither Durham nor Stockton have gay scenes of their own. However, there is a range of other places in the area you can go to instead.

newcastle

It probably won't come as too much of a shock that by far the largest gay scene in the region is in Newcastle. It's been changing rapidly but we've kept right up to date with it for you with these reviews.

middlesbrough

Featured some time ago in Attitude magazine, Middlesbrough has a larger and better gay scene than you might expect - John provides the lowdown.

others

There are three other small gay scenes in the area: Hartlepool, Darlington and Sunderland.

further afield

Sadly York no longer has a gay venue. Beyond what we've listed here, you'd have to travel to Edinburgh in the north or Leeds in the south...
