Organise a company event in Newcastle

Newcastle punches well above its weight for venue variety. The Ouseburn Valley has converted warehouses and creative spaces that work brilliantly for away days and product launches. The Quayside offers riverside event spaces with views across to Gateshead, and the city centre has no shortage of private dining rooms, rooftop terraces and modern conference facilities. Naboo's vetted network covers all of it, and you get a single point of contact rather than a dozen different venue coordinators to manage.

Newcastle is good at this. Teams can do a guided street-art tour through Ouseburn, take a cookery class at one of the city's independent food venues, or head out for a competitive evening of axe throwing or shuffleboard in the centre. The Quayside is an easy base for an evening meal that actually feels like a treat rather than a corporate afterthought. If you want something more active, the Team Tyne rowing experience on the river is the kind of thing people still talk about six months later.
