Point Blank Shooting
Point Blank Shooting is a state-of-the-art simulation shooting range and the ultimate, competitive socialising experience. But don’t be fooled ladies; shooting isn’t just for men. We can pull the trigger just as good, if not better.
The concept (which is the first of its kind in the UK) combines skillset shooting with cold beers, delicious cocktails and brilliant bites. Good job they aren’t real guns, right?
Bring out your competitive side with exciting leader boards and 200 different shooting scenarios all in an incredible speakeasy venue.
Oh, not forgetting their bottomless brunch every Sunday, which is perfect for this Bank Holiday weekend. With unlimited beer and prosecco flowing nonstop and as much pizza as you can eat – you’ve got everything you need for a perfect night out. Lock, stock, and barrel.
HLN TOP TIP: It’s thirsty work shooting. We recommend trying their Trigger Happy cocktail – you won’t be disappointed.

NEST
What better way to spend your Bank Holiday weekend than with some wining and dining? And we know just the place – NEST, a new neighbourhood restaurant which has been nesting into Chillingham Road’s enviable food scene nicely. Think of a quality dining experience within a totally relaxed ambiance.
With a carefully planned, eight-course tasting menu every evening from Thursday to Sunday – all accompanied by a devilishly decadent wine float – a night at NEST is always going to be one to remember. Date night dinner, anyone?
Pop into this gorgeously designed dining destination on Sunday and you’ll be treated to the roast with the most. (Trust us – we’ve tried it). Take sticky pork cheeks and apple salad to start, followed by slow-braised lamb and sticky toffee pudding with Newcastle Brown Ale ice cream, and you’ve got a perfect meal in our opinion. Or, if you’re looking for somewhere extra-special for a little through-the-day grazing, NEST’s deli boards – which feature charcuterie from Block & Bottle, alongside warm bites and something sweet – are next level
