Newcastle fans can grab free Carabao Cup souvenir photos in Eldon Square

Newcastle's Wembley cup final is now just days away and supporters can get into the spirit of the historic occasion at Eldon Square.

The Newcastle shopping centre is giving fans the chance to grab a free souvenir photo in front of a black and white flower wall as the excitement builds ahead of Sunday's match.

Families will be able to show their support for Eddie Howe's side as they look to win their first major trophy since 1969 by taking a selfie in front of the wall and using the #NUFC on social media or tagging the shopping centre's Instagram account @eldonsquare.

The wall is located directly opposite the HMV store in Eldon Square at Blacket Bridge and features black and white flowers arranged in stripes, as well as a balloon arch and NUFC made up of lights. And on Sunday, the day of the final, youngsters will be able to get their faces painted to support Newcastle United by visiting a stand outside of John Lewis and Boots in the shopping centre.

A team of face painters will be painting as many faces as possible from 11am to 3pm in return for a small donation to the Newcastle United Foundation. The charity uses football to inspire, motivate and connect with people across the North East.

Naomi Osborne, acting marketing manager at Eldon Square, said: “Newcastle United is the beating heart of our city. After a number of challenging years for the fans we are thrilled to be able to support the club and its supporters on this momentous occasion. We recognise how important this bond is for all associated with the club and are delighted to be able to play a part in commemorating the day with the North East community.”
