 Theatre, cinema, gallery, and performance space |

As its name suggests this theatre, cinema, and gallery space occupies a former customs house close to the mouth of the river Tyne. The programme of events in the theatre is varied, offering music, dance, drama, and comedy. The Customs House is often one of the out of town venues for the annual Newcastle Comedy Festival. The cinema shows the latest releases, as well as less mainstream, and sometimes locally funded and made, films. The gallery displays a number of touring exhibitions, as well as the work of local artists. Many of the facilities, including the bar and restaurant, are available to hire for conferences, seminars, and other events. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This venue is a converted warehouse complex dating back to the 16th Century. It has been home to the Live Theatre Company since 1986 and has since been substantially redeveloped into one of the best, small-scale theater and music venues in the region.

Innovative city-centre theatre |
Barras Bridge Haymarket Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE1 7RH United Kingdom +44 191 230 5151 http://www.northernstage.com |
The home of the award winning Northern Stage Ensemble, this is a venue which programmes the offbeat, the challenging, or the purely local, together with world names in music, comedy, dance, and theatre. As a result, the Playhouse has won a national reputation for excellence, and a visit can be rewarding and entertaining. Customer-friendly ticket deals are winning new patrons. Decried somewhat unfairly by some as a 70's concrete bunker, the Playhouse is a pleasant venue and has the only fully non-smoking licensed bar/cafe in the city centre. This serves freshly cooked food and snacks from 10am until 3pm for members of the general public, and later main meals as part of the "pre-show meal deal" for ticket holders. There are some sign language performances, and an induction loop, for the hard of hearing. Review © 2007, Wcities |
