What's Happening in Tyne & Wear?

The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games aren't just going to have an impact on London. Every corner of the country will have a part to play in making 2012 one of the best and Tyne and Wear is no different. Below you will find a list of ways in which the area is getting involved in the Olympic spirit.

St. James' Park, the home of Newcastle United, will be one of five stadia playing host to both the male and female football tournaments throughout the Games.
