A modest crowd has gathered just outside The Dockyard in Honeysuckle to check out a life size replica of a Tardis. The time and space transportation device made famous by the TV show, DR Who has sent many Novocastrian fans into a selfie frenzy. So where can you find the Tardis in Newcastle? We’re glad you asked.
First thing’s first, WHAT IS THE TARDIS?
According to Wikipedia “A TARDIS is a product of the advanced technology of the Time Lords, an extraterrestrial civilisation to which the programme’s central character, the Doctor, belongs. A properly maintained and piloted TARDIS can transport its occupants to any point in time and space. The interior of a TARDIS is much larger than its exterior. It can blend in with its surroundings using the ship’s “chameleon circuit”. TARDISes also possess a degree of sapience (which has been expressed in a variety of ways ranging from implied machine personality and free will through to the use of a conversant avatar) and provide their users with additional tools and abilities including a telepathically based universal translation system.”
And now for the important thing, WHERE CAN YOU SEE A TARDIS IN NEWCASTLE?
The simple answer is, right outside The Dockyard bar in Honeysuckle. For a more precise location check out the map below.
UPDATE: The pop up promotional event was all done and dusted by 6:00pm. It was in promotion of the Doctor Who Festival. Find out more by visiting the Ticketek website
