Construction is underway on the latest visitor attraction at the shopping centre, with the Upside Down House’s themed rooms set to showcase culture in the North East.

The region’s first Spinning House, designed to challenge people’s perception of gravity, will also entertain visitors to the Gateshead shopping destination.

Situated at the Yellow Mall entrance, the Upside Down House has its own construction team, who are aiming to have it up and running by 12 April.

Alex Barbary, associate director at UDH said: “We are incredibly excited to bring the very first Upside Down House in the North East, to Metrocentre.

“As a prime retail and leisure destination, Metrocentre is the ideal location for us to expand our business and introduce our unique
experience to the people of Tyne and Wear and beyond.”

Gavin Prior, centre director at Metrocentre, added: “These exciting new attractions are sure to be a fantastic addition to our entertainment offering, providing our visitors with a unique and interactive experience that complements our vibrant retail and leisure environment.”
