Asked Questions

Getting Here

We are located in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. The venue is easily accessible by car via the A167(M) and by public transport from Newcastle Central Station and Haymarket Metro Station. For car & taxi drop offs, use the postcode NE1 8QE.

We can offer a limited number of on-site parking spaces free of charge to event clients (subject to availability). Please discuss your requirements with the events team during the enquiry process and we will do our best to arrange this for you.

We are also in close proximity to a number of pay & display car parks.

Booking & Availability

We offer flexible room hire rates, with half day hire covering up to 5 hours and full day hire covering 12 hours. Please include set up/packdown in your event timings when submitting your enquiry.

The venue is closed on Bank Holidays, as well as the Christmas/New Year period. Aside from that we are open every day!

The team are happy to place a provisional hold on an event space while you iron out details on your end, we will keep you informed of any other enquiries for the same date. Please note that during busy periods, we may only be able to hold a space for a limited length of time. When you are ready to confirm, the team will put together your confirmation paperwork and send over for signature.

If you decide you no longer require the space it is essential that you inform the events team so that we can release the space.

Yes please! We'd love for you to see the event spaces and to hear about your requirements in person. Our office hours are Monday - Friday between 8am - 5pm, however if you require a time slot outside of this we will do our best to accommodate.

Payments & Cancellation

Once confirmation paperwork has been issued and signed, a deposit request will be sent equal to 50% of the room hire value. Once we have received payment, your event booking is confirmed. If you fail to pay the deposit, your preferred date may be released. The final invoice will be sent 2 weeks before the event and this must be paid before the event takes place.

If your event is cancelled within 28 days of the event date — including cancellation through non-payment or lack of communication — the full event cost will still be payable.

Facilities & Services

Our standard tech packages include a PA system, screen/projector, microphone(s), dynamic lighting and two AV technicians. We have a range of other hi-spec equipment available to hire if you require a more comprehensive set up. The events team will put together the best proposal for you based on your requirements.

We work closely with a range of suppliers who can help with all aspects of your event, however if you have a preferred supplier you are welcome to instruct them. We only ask that you make us aware in advance of any suppliers involved in your event, and that they can provide compliance documentation (e.g. Public liability insurance).

Please view venue information on AccessAble

We have a dedicated Bars team who will aim to provide everything that you require for your event. In the instance that we can't fulfil your request, we can discuss a corkage fee.

On the Day

A dedicated member of the events team will be present on the day of your event to support in any way that you need it. In some cases, dedicated support on the day might not be required. In these instances, you will be given contact details for the duty manager working on the day who can assist with any general enquiries.

All duty managers are first aid trained and will be on hand to assist with any incidents. If there are any planned fire drills during your event, we will inform you in advance, though where possible we will schedule these around event hires.

In the event of a fire alarm, or other emergency evacuation, the duty managers and designated fire marshals will ensure you are safely evacuate from the venue. When you confirm a booking with us, you will receive a copy of the fire safety procedures.

Security arrangements are tailored to each event, based on the nature of the event, our venue policy and risk assessment. For some events, dedicated security staff are a requirement rather than an option — where this is the case, we will discuss it with you during booking and the cost will be confirmed upfront.

Depending on the event, arrangements may also include person and bag searches. Where searches or additional security measures are in place, we will let you know in advance and on arrival.
