Newcastle City Hall

Newcastle City Hall is a concert venue in Newcastle upon Tyne featuring a classical façade with grand columns and five tall windows on its main front. The building sits as part of a larger municipal complex and holds audiences of more than 2,000 for performances.

The hall opened in 1927 as part of an urban development project that reshaped the city centre. Its opening marked a new chapter in Newcastle's cultural life and construction was part of a wider civic improvement effort.

The venue has been a gathering place for live music across generations, drawing performers and audiences from across the region. Today, visitors experience performances in a hall that remains central to the city's cultural life.

The venue is actively programmed with regular performances, so it is worth checking ahead to see what is on during your visit. The building is centrally located within Newcastle's civic district, making it easily accessible from other parts of the city.

Inside the hall sits a magnificent pipe organ installed nearly a century ago that continues to be used for performances. The instrument contains thousands of pipes and is recognized as a particularly fine example of its kind.
