The New Vic Theatre, Europe's first purpose-built theatre in the round, is just outside the town centre and offers a full programme of entertainment, whether modern or classic plays or impressive concert performances.

The Brampton Museum and Art Gallery depicts the civic history of the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme and an authentic, life-size Victorian street-scene whilst the art gallery hosts work by local and national artists as well as touring exhibitions.

The recently developed 'Castle Walk' with its traditional cobbled street and Iron Market are home to a variety of high street stores. Sitting amongst the shops are traditional cafes and a tea room where you can take a rest from shopping and enjoy a pot of tea and a scone. The more traditional cafés are also complemented by more cosmopolitan cafes such as Java and Costa Café where you can sip on an Ice tea or Vanilla Latte with al-fresco seating available.
