In Newcastle work is as important as play: as England’s ‘second city’ it’s a hub for business and party goers alike. So when it comes to choosing an events venue in Newcastle the choice is, quite naturally, generous. To highlight the wide range available we’ve picked out three of our favourite venues in Newcastle that cater for a variety of different types and styles of occasion.
Discovery Museum
The museum is housed in an ornate Victorian building, originally home to the Cooperative Wholesale Society from 1899 until 1978, and not to be established as the Discovery Museum until 1993. The museum is a suitable space for a variety of different events - corporate meetings and conferences, Christmas parties and even weddings - all of which can take place surrounded by eye-catching exhibits and interactive displays. Whatever the requirements for an upcoming event, the large spaces available can be adapted to meet your needs and make the occasion as engaging and exciting as possible.
Laing Art Gallery
The Laing Gallery is another unique event space located in the heart of Newcastle. Established in 1904, the gallery houses a vast collection of art works ranging from antique paintings and sculptures to ultra-modern pieces - allowing guests to host their events surrounded by world-class works of art. Whether you’re planning a business conference or your dream wedding, the Laing Art Gallery offers a stunning setting which will exceed all expectations.
Newcastle United Football Club
Far from the historic buildings which home the Discovery Museum and Laing Art Gallery, St James’ Park stadium (home to Newcastle United Football Club) offers a different but equally unique experience for event goers. This venue is one of the largest in the North East for conference and banqueting facilities, and has a dedicated events team who will ensure that your event flows seamlessly and is memorable for all who attend. A variety of spaces are available for different types of events, with a maximum capacity of 1000 people! You can add optional extras, such as a stadium tour, to your package to tailor your event and make it truly unique.
