Newcastle's hidden gem!

The Great Hall offers a beautiful, prestigious space for your dream wedding reception. From the original period features of the breath-taking staircase to the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows of The Great Hall, the Sutherland building and surrounding outdoor spaces can provide an exclusive, private and unbeatably located venue for your wedding party.
