All our annual passes now include audio guides!

Hi! You’ve found our audio guide landing page. If you haven’t already, please click here to download the Newcastle Castle app on your phone. You will need it to listen to our audio guide.

Please scan the QR codes placed around our site to learn more about the story of the castle that gave our city its name.

Our audio guide is narrated by British television presenter, architectural historian, and writer, John Grundy, who has spent decades researching and sharing the architecture and history of North East England.

We hope you enjoy this journey through history!
