We are located within a 10 minute walk from Newcastle city centre and a few minutes from public transport routes. Free parking is available.

Originally a worship room, this is our main exhibition space. When it is not in use for our main programme, this space can be hired for presentations, performances, conferences, lectures and events.

Capacities | Theatre style: 80 | Cabaret style: 60 | Standing: 100 |

See below for additional photos of the space and prices; weekly rate for exhibitions is £650 – subject to submitting a proposal.

Workshop/Library Space:

A more intimate space, this room is ideal for creative workshops, meetings, rehearsals and AGMs.

The space includes a sink and worktop area along one wall, making it ideal for art and craft workshops or serving teas and coffees. The sink has a built-in cover, meaning it can also be hidden away if your event does not require it. There is also access to SAW’s kitchen through a hatch.
