Level 1 also boasts its own 54 seat cinema where your guests can watch show reels or photos of your time together, as well as a dressing room with light mirrors which can be used as a powder room and a relaxing space where you can take a few minutes before re-joining the celebration.

December 2024A completely free contemporary art gallery. We have been visiting for years and really feel this is one of the best galleries in the country. The exhibitions are always thought provoking and the gallery is just the right size to really enjoy the space. The staff have always been helpful and there are plenty of things to do and events around the year.

February 2025Free! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Newcastle. Really nice space with a lovely cafe and one of the best gift shops ever! Particularly enjoyed the Franki Raffles exhibition which is currently on. Friendly staff. Viewing platform at the top with great views of the city!
