Grey Street Gathering
The Grey Street Gathering is a pop up park that marks the arrival of Summer in Newcastle. Set in the Georgian grandeur of Grainger Town, the historic heart of Newcastle upon Tyne it connects with people of every age, increases local dwell and turnover of nearby businesses.
Pop-up parks, programmes and interventions are now a standard part of vibrant street life across the globe due to being relatively quick and inexpensive means of transforming established public realm or as a ‘meanwhile use’ in phased regeneration that can add dynamism, footfall, economic impact and local pride through improving the city environment.
This far-reaching power is recognised and harnessed by NE1, Newcastle Upon Tyne’s international award winning Business Improvement District company whose work attracts and promotes both businesses in the city centre and the region itself with projects that enhance the whole experience of the city.
The park not only introduces green breathing space and relaxation space to the city centre with lush planting, seasonal flowers, the buzzing of bees and street trees creating the setting for both formal and informal seating
The park has been featured on ITV News.
