Newcastle: Blackfriars History Tour, Lunch & Sparkling Wine｜United Kingdom

Discover the rich history of Blackfriars, a 13th-century former Dominican friary and Grade I Scheduled Ancient Monument. Learn about the friars who once gathered here for readings, discussions, daily tasks, and community matters before being expelled by King Henry VIII in 1536.

Dating back to 1239, Blackfriars is the oldest dining room in the UK, a jewel in Newcastle’s medieval past, and a stalwart of the local dining scene.

After a fascinating history tour, enjoy a three-course meal at the award-winning restaurant. Savor traditional historic dishes made from fresh, local, and seasonal produce. Along with your meal, enjoy a bottle of sparkling wine (shared between two guests) and toast to a wonderful experience.
