Hoults Yard is a fascinating old building in the centre of Newcastle and was originally one of the most famous pottery factories in the world.

Hosting a corporate event at Hoults Yard offers you an adaptable and versatile approach to organising your event. Whether you’re looking for conference facilities, a space to launch a new product, a venue to host a seminar, exhibition space or even a location for an art show or charity fundraiser, we can help.

Our venues are blank canvasses but with the help of our experienced production team, we can transform your specific ideas into the event you wish to create!

Corporate events under our belts are the broadcasting of Radio 4’s Any Questions with Jonathan Dimbleby, a hair/fashion show for Wella Sebastian hair products, a fundraiser for Ballet Lorent, a clothing launch party for Red Star Clothing where a skateboarding ramp was the key feature… and we’ve even televised footy matches for the European championships 2012 and we hosted World Cup in a Warehouse of which we won the best event in 2010.

With catering packages to suit every budget, a late license, onsite parking and an onsite co-ordinator we can make arranging your corporate event a whole lot easier.
