    WHAT’S ON IN NEWCASTLE HAPPY HALLOWEEN Keep your little monsters entertained this half-term TASTE OF THINGS TO COME Kenny Atkinson’s new restaurant venture MARCO PIERRE WHITE Right mix of ingredients in town for celeb chef YOUR FREE FORTNIGHTLY GUIDE 16 OCT 2013 - 30 OCT 2013 YOU’RE IN NEWCASTLE YOUR FORTNIGHTLY GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON With the greatest respect to all the long-suffering teaching staff who’ve crossed our various paths during our formative years, we think there’s been a horrible mistake. We can distinctly remember being told that autumn was a time when the whole world began to gradually slow down, shed, wither, and brace itself for the cold. Kids nearly come to blows this time of year for use of the solitary brown and orange crayons in the class. But having a quick nosey around our beloved NE1, things are starting to feel a lot more vernal (that means spring-like). There are new shops, new menus, new venues, new ideas and a whole lot of pretty exciting new plans. Far from falling from the trees, we’re positively blooming at present. So, with us as your cultural bee, join us as we hop from petal to petal keeping your spare time pollinated. 04 NEWS Stay up to date with what’s happening this fortnight 06 KEEP THE KIDS ENTERTAINED AT HALF-TERM FEATURE Spook-tacular fun this Halloween for rugrats as well as older kids 08 MARCO PIERRE WHITE TOP 5 The chef on his favourite things about Newcastle 10 PLAY ON WORDS STAGE High drama with Alphabetti Spaghetti Theatre PLUS All the highlights for the next two weeks – your first-stop-shop for entertainment listings Editorial: room501 publishing All contents copyright © 2013 room501 Ltd.
