Events and Activities

The Globe Café

The Globe café is open every Monday night from 7.30-10pm during term time. A meal will be served from 7.30pm and only costs £2! During summer time we open from 8-10pm - no meal will be served but free tea and coffee will be available. The café provides a relaxed environment for international students to chat and make new friends. As well as being a great place to escape from the library, it also offers students the chance to practice their English. We organise lots of different games and some special events (such as weekends away and day trips) during the term. We also provide an opportunity to investigate the Christian faith for those who are interested. For further information, please email Philip Ballard or click here to see The Globe's website.

English Conversation Classes

There is an English language class held every Wednesday from 1.15-2.45pm. There is also a Bible study from 3-4pm which you are also welcome to join. They are free of charge and any students are welcome to come along. For more info please email Sue at englishclasses@the-globe.org.

The International Ladies Group

A warm welcome to our International Ladies, with or without children, to meet us for friendly chats, coffee and a fun programme on Wednesday mornings.

A Visit to a Local Home

Are you an international student studying in Newcastle? Would you like to have the opportunity to visit a local home and get to know local people?
This invitation comes from Christian people who are members of local churches in the Newcastle area. We wish to offer a warm welcome to you as you live here and to invite you into our homes for a meal from time to time.
The hospitality programme is open to ALL international students in the Newcastle area, whatever country you come from and whatever your religious background.
If you would like to join this scheme, please fill in this form (www.the-globe.org/visitalocalhome) and we'll be in touch with you soon.
