About Fayre Play

Fayre Play is a vibrant indoor entertainment venue located in the heart of Newcastle City, offering a unique twist on traditional fairground fun. Situated at The Gate, close to popular shopping and leisure areas, it brings together the excitement of classic carnival games with a modern setting. Its central location makes it an easy addition to a family day out in the city, whether you are visiting Newcastle for the first time or looking for something new to enjoy locally.

At its core, Fayre Play recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of a traditional fair, featuring a range of colourful, interactive games inspired by familiar family favourites such as basketball, hook-a-duck, and tin can alley, all with a creative local twist. Guests can take part in multiple rounds across nine different games, competing individually or in groups to achieve the highest scores. The experience is designed to be engaging, energetic, and social, encouraging friendly competition and teamwork in a lively environment. This makes it particularly appealing for families with children, as well as mixed-age groups looking to share an activity together.
