The North Shields Outlet also provides a great location for a family day out. There are regular programmes of live events throughout the year as well as cafes and coffee shops to relax in. At the start of every hour check out the Lightning Clock; as each hour approaches, the sound of thunder is heard, the wind blows, smoke billows out at the poor ‘weatherman’ until gradually, the storm dies down, and all is quiet again - for an hour.
The outlet mall is located to the East of Newcastle on the site of the former Albert Edward Dock, reflecting the areas strong shipping history.
