If you’re searching for a Christmas party venue with personality, style and a touch of drama, The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle offers something delightfully different. This former Victorian warehouse turned contemporary art gallery hosts a series of characterful spaces that can be hired privately for festive celebrations of all shapes and sizes, each with its own distinct mood and aesthetic.
For an intimate gathering, the Artisan room oozes warmth and charm with glowing lanterns and real fireplaces, making it ideal for smaller office parties or cosy end-of-year client dinners (40–100 guests). At the other end of the spectrum, The Biscuit Room can accommodate up to 400 partygoers, with a dedicated stage, lounge and bar which is perfect for dancing until midnight under high industrial ceilings. If you're after something botanical and beautifully styled, The Garden Room offers vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, and lush foliage for 70–180 guests, while the Art Gallery itself can be hired for private dining (10–30 guests) or drinks receptions surrounded by original works of art.
The three-course dining package offers a traditional festive menu done with flair: think treacle-cured salmon to start, followed by butter-roast turkey crown with pigs in blankets, or porchetta with roasted Italian veg, and a sticky gingerbread pudding to finish. Each table of ten enjoys a festive cocktail on arrival and four bottles of wine, with a pay bar for top-ups throughout the evening. Seasonal décor is included, so the stage is set for a proper Christmas knees-up.
Looking to spice things up? The Biscuit Factory also offers immersive murder mystery experiences, transforming your party into a night of intrigue and sleuthing. Choose from four themes and perhaps your team will be tasked with catching an art thief, or unmasking a disgruntled elf with a grudge against Santa.
Whether you're planning a low-key December dinner or an all-out end-of-year bash, The Biscuit Factory pairs great food with creative flair and delivers a festive party to remember.
