Travelling Man Newcastle: Comics, Manga and Games

Travelling Man Newcastle is a specialist comic book store, game shop and bookshop at 43 Grainger Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 5JE. The shop is part of the UK Travelling Man chain, founded in 1991, and the Newcastle branch has been on Grainger Street since the early 2000s. It sits within an area known for its geek and gaming shops, making it easy to reach while exploring the city centre. The store’s listed rating is 4.7/5 from 806 reviews, although opening times and stock can change, so it is sensible to check the official website before travelling.

Inside, the range covers comic books, graphic novels, manga, video games, board games, card games, role-playing games, model kits, paints, hobby supplies, scenery and collectable merchandise. There is also a strong Games Workshop selection, including Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar and Warhammer The Old World, alongside models and merchandise linked to Gundam, Pokémon, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia and Dragon Ball. Reviews commonly mention the friendly, welcoming staff, including Ali and the wider team, as well as the selection of new comics, manga, Funko Pops and Warhammer products. Some customers also mention a 3 for 2 manga offer, though promotions are likely to vary.

The shop is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00–18:00, and Sunday, 11:00–17:00. You can contact the Newcastle branch on 0191 261 4993 or at newcastle@travellingman.com. For online orders, Travelling Man offers free delivery over A$40—the website’s threshold is converted here from the original UK pricing—and most orders are dispatched within 24–48 hours on weekdays through DPD or Royal Mail in the UK. Returns are accepted within 14 days for a refund. For anyone choosing between comics, manga, tabletop games or hobby projects, the main appeal is the mix of categories in one compact city-centre shop and the staff’s approachable atmosphere.
