England vs Bosnia & Herzegovina

Home > Tyne & Wear > Newcastle upon Tyne > St James’ Park

England will play Bosnia & Herzegovina in a Euro 2024 football pre-tournament friendly on Monday 3rd June 2024 at St James’ Park in Newcastle upon Tyne.

England vs Bosnia & Herzegovina 3rd June 2024

Kick-off time has yet to be determined and tickets are not yet available to purchase.

If you are lucky enough to obtain a ticket as either an England or Bosnia & Herzegovina fan then we advise you to book your accommodation early to avoid disappointment.

This match will be the first time since 2005 that St James’ Park has hosted an England football team international match.

We expect high demand for accommodation in the area and South Shields is an ideal place to stay as we have a direct Tyne & Wear Metro line to St James’ Park.

However we recommend disembarking at Monument Metro Station as it just a few 100m walk to the stadium.

If you are looking for hotel accommodation for your visit to St James’ Park our bed and breakfast best price and room availability is here Book Online.

Room information including photographs can be found on the Accommodation page of our website.

HMS Northumberland at Port of Tyne

Home > Tyne & Wear > Newcastle upon Tyne > Port of Tyne

Northumberland’s affiliated warship HMS Northumberland will be at Port of Tyne’s Northumbrian Quay on Saturday 27th January 2024.

HMS Northumberland At Port of Tyne

HMS Northumberland is a powerful and versatile Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy.

Christened in 1994, she is the eighth ship to bear this proud name, carrying a legacy of over 300 years of maritime service.

Clad in a sleek grey hull, the 143-meter-long Northumberland displaces 4,200 tons.

Her stealthy design minimizes her radar signature, making her a formidable opponent in modern warfare.

Beneath the waves, her powerful Rolls-Royce Tyne gas turbines propel her at speeds exceeding 28 knots, ensuring swift response to any threat.

HMS Northumberland

HMS Northumberland’s arsenal is as diverse as the missions she undertakes.

From the Sea Ceptor air defence missiles that paint the sky with streaks of fire to the Harpoon anti-ship missiles that pierce enemy vessels, she is equipped to dominate both air and sea.

Her sonar and torpedoes keep her vigilant against lurking submarines, while her Oerlikon cannon ensures precision strikes against smaller targets.

HMS Northumberland is also a vital player in humanitarian missions, delivering aid to disaster-stricken regions and supporting international peacekeeping efforts.

Her Merlin helicopters provide invaluable aerial reconnaissance and transportation, while her onboard medical facilities offer crucial assistance in times of crisis.

HMS Northumberland is affiliated with the county of Northumberland in northeast England, where she was built.

She has participated in numerous operations around the globe, from counter-piracy missions in the Indian Ocean to NATO exercises in the Arctic.

In 2023, she was awarded the Surface Flotilla’s Underwater Warfare Trophy for her exceptional skills in hunting and monitoring submarines.

You can see more about HMS Northumberland in this video…

HMS Northumberland was also featured in the three part Channel Five television documentary Warship Life At Sea.

You can see a trailer for the 2022 tv series here…

HMS Northumberland will be open for public tours between 10am and 3pm on Saturday 27th January 2024 at Northumbrian Quay, North Shields, NE29 6EE.
