HIRE SPACE AT
NEWCASTLE ARTS CENTRE
Here at Newcastle Arts Centre we have a range of spaces for hire that can cater to various requirements.
Our Office & Studio Block has 4 different spaces. They are used for hosting small working groups for a few colleagues, to large scale presentations for 50 people, and numerous specifications in between.
We also have our Black Swan Bar & Venue, if you’re after more space and facilities for a conference or networking event. The Bar & Venue are flexible spaces that regularly cater to different scales, whether it’s a multi-stage and specialist event, or a more informal and relaxed occasion.
We love our collection of buildings. Sitting on on Westgate Road, only a 2 minute walk from Central Station, they benefit the convenience of city centre, while also containing a peaceful, planted courtyard – the perfect spot to take a break.
