Our one-of-a-kind curved structure is home to two auditoriums, flat-floored function rooms, and distinctive breakouts. Our crowning glory? The large central concourse space used for exhibitions, dinners and parties.
All of this under one roof, with an onsite production crew and in house catering.

Need flexibility? Our Barbour Room has got you covered. It’s set back with a private glass balcony overlooking Newcastle’s Tyne Bridge. There’s space for networking and drinks, and, most importantly, it gives the perfect backdrop for that Instagram selfie or press shot. Plus, this room can be divided into two separate spaces, Barbour West and Barbour East, providing smaller rooms for smaller numbers – and all in the time it takes for a tea break!
Exclusive use
Want to impress – you can hire our venue for full, exclusive use.
It’s ideal for large conferences with exhibitions and for those who want to really take-over the building with their own brand.
In addition to all the halls and conference spaces in the venue, exclusive hire gives you plenty of extra spaces for networking, breakouts and catering.

Food and Drink
Such a key aspect of any event. We focus on seasonality, sustainability and love showcasing our regional produce. All our menus can be customised to suit your needs. If posh dining is your thing, we’ll put on our airs and graces. If you’d rather a chippy tea, we know how to do the Friday weekend feel – tomato sauce and all.
