We can now announce the amazing news that we will begin our project to restore and make the Tyneside an even better home for great films in the north east.
We're moving to Gateshead for a short while
Work begins to transform our Pilgrim Street site on Friday 24th November, so we’re packing up our projectors and shifting our seats to the wonderful confines of Gateshead’s beautifully historic Old Town Hall.
The Coffee Rooms is coming too
As well as screening all the newest, greatest films, full time at the Old Town Hall, we’re also taking the Tyneside Coffee Rooms with us too, so everything you love about your cinema-going at the Tyneside will be all present and correct when you come to our new home.
Access for everyone
For the first time ever, from Friday 24th November we’ll be showing films in an environment fully accessible for anyone with trouble using stairs (at last), and in one of the grandest auditoriums you’ll ever set foot in.
How to book tickets
You can still book tickets by calling us on exactly the same Box Office telephone number: (0191) 232 8289.
