Stay in Newcastle hostels for UK School Games North East

Young athletes from across the north-east can book into Newcastle hostels for one of the biggest events in the school sporting calendar this week.

The Sainsbury's UK School Games North East will be taking place at venues across Tyneside, including Gateshead International Stadium, Newcastle University and Sunderland Aquatic Centre, making city centre accommodation in Newcastle an ideal place to stay.

More than 1,600 school-aged athletes will be competing between September 2nd and 5th in cycling, badminton, fencing, gymnastics, hockey, judo, swimming, table tennis, volleyball and track and field.

There will also be disability events in a number of fields, including swimming, athletics and table tennis.

The event has been organised to mirror the feel of major sporting events such as the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, with an accompanying cultural programme titled Welcome to the North East, an opening ceremony and a variety of art projects in and around the venues.
