Flowers Delivered to Gateshead

Situated on the southern banks of the River Tyne opposite Newcastle on the northern banks, the town of Gateshead is home to some iconic monuments, including the Gateshead Millenium Bridge and the Angel of the North. The Metro Centre at Gateshead is the largest shopping centre in Europe whilst Team Valley Trading Estate is considered to be the biggest commercial estate in Britain.

Linked to Newcastle by a series of bridges spanning the River Tyne, the combined area is known as Tyneside and was once a major centre for shipbuilding. With the decline in the industry the area has had to redefine itself and Gateshead has successfully established itself as an up and coming centre for tourism, with plenty of exciting architecture, art and attractions to tempt visitors into the area.

There are some ground-breaking architectural features in the area of Gateshead. The Sage Building is a striking modern building which hosts concerts and events, whilst the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts hosts a number of exhibitions and festivals in addition to offering some spectacular views across the river.

There are a number of excellent parks and areas of green space around the town, including the delightful Saltwell Park and Gibside which hosts a craft market amidst landscaped grounds. The Riverside Sculpture Park offers a pleasant walk along the banks of the river with some striking sculptures dotted along the route.

Gateshead hosts an annual Flower Show attracting hundreds of entrants each year and bringing many visitors to the area. Unfortunately budget cuts have put the future of the show in doubt, but the region hosts a number of other garden festivals throughout the summer months.

The nearby docks ensure that flowers from Europe can be transported to the area with ease, meaning that Gateshead flower delivery offers the freshest and finest blooms whatever the time of year.
