Christmas Town is coming to the Newgate Centre
This year, we’re excited to participate in Christmas Town, running from Friday 29 November to Sunday 8 December. We’ll have stalls inside the Centre, along with Santa’s Grotto also located within the Centre. We’ll be extending our opening hours during this period, with stores open until 8 PM and the car park closing at 9 PM, Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, stores will close at 6 PM, with the car park closing at 7.00pm. We are the official car park for the event, and Grotto times will follow the same schedule as Christmas Town.
Bishop Auckland Giving Tree – Making a difference to the people that need it this Christmas
We are working closely with Cornerstone, NASSL, and Woodhouse Close Church and Community Centre to support those in need during the holiday season. All we ask is that you purchase an additional gift during your Christmas shop, then pop along to the giving tree, take a tag and then drop it into one of the stores in the Newgate Centre. We will make sure your gift gets to the right people and it will make a difference to their Christmas this year. The Bishop Auckland Giving Tree will be running from 15 November until 20 December.
YEEP lockers
YEEP! Lockers have landed at The Newgate Centre!
Located within the centre opposite the old Wilko unit, the self-service postal box is made up of different sized lockers that can be used to receive and return parcels.
They are an easy and convenient out-of-home delivery option that will help us reduce pollution and traffic, and are used by multiple delivery companies.
The lockers are open normal trade hours of the centre, so you can collect a parcel from your chosen YEEP! locker at a time that works for you.
When you arrive at the locker press the Wake Up button and wait for the scanner to light up. Then, simply enter the PIN code or scan the barcode / QR code you have been sent and your door will open!
Just collect your parcel and close the door – its as easy as that!
YEEP! lockers are designed for parcels up to a maximum weight of 20kg, and there are four locker size options to choose from.
Plus, you can make returns too!
