Whether you're planning a strategy day, an intimate workshop, or an all-out celebration, The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle offers a refreshingly creative setting for events of all sizes. Housed in a former Victorian warehouse on the edge of Ouseburn’s cultural quarter, this independent art gallery and venue brings contemporary style, flexible spaces, and a distinctly artistic atmosphere to every kind of gathering.
For corporate events, there are several room hire options available on a daily rate basis, with thoughtful amenities included as standard: HDMI-connected plasma screens, complimentary Wi-Fi, filtered water, and direct access to a dedicated co-ordinator. The Drawing Room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere for 8–20 guests, ideal for informal meetings or even private family gatherings. The Boardroom, purpose-built in 2021, is a bright, modern space with accessible facilities and its own kitchenette - perfect for focused discussions or team presentations. Upstairs, the Work Room is flooded with natural light and surrounded by art from the gallery, offering an inspiring setting for creative sessions and breakouts.
Catering can be added with flexible packages, from morning pastries and Rington’s tea to a two-course lunch at The Factory Kitchen, the venue’s rooftop café and one of Newcastle’s best brunch spots.
But it’s not all business. The Biscuit Factory also comes into its own as a party venue, with two distinctive event spaces available for private hire. The Biscuit Room is the largest, a striking modernist-style hall that can accommodate up to 300 guests for drinks and dancing, with a generous bar and built-in stage. It’s ideal for large birthdays, awards dinners or even mini festivals. The smaller but characterful Artisan space offers real fires, exposed brickwork, and a courtyard which is ideal for stylish dinners (up to 70 seated) or informal drinks receptions for up to 100.
From corporate conferences to creative celebrations, The Biscuit Factory blends function with flair, making it one of Newcastle’s most distinctive venue hire options.
