Hidden In Plain Sight

Issue 112

Discover Haylofts, the city centre workspace you'll wish you found sooner.

Tucked away just off St Thomas Street in Newcastle, you’ll find one of the city’s best-kept secrets: Haylofts. Step through the archway, and you’re instantly transported from the buzz of the city into a calm, creative courtyard that feels like a world of its own.

Haylofts is part of the family of workspaces created by Hoults Yard. Like its sister sites in Ouseburn and Gateshead, it’s all about community, flexibility, and character. But what makes Haylofts truly special is its hidden-in-plain-sight location and its story.

From Stables to Success Stories

Originally built as a stable block for Newcastle Breweries, the building’s heritage is woven into every beam and brick. When Hoults Yard took over the site, the vision was clear: to create a unique workspace that combined the building’s original charm with everything modern businesses need to thrive.

Today, that vision has come to life. Haylofts is home to private offices and meeting rooms, all wrapped around a cool central courtyard, complete with bleacher-style seating that works as a great spot to host events too. There’s superfast internet, bookable meeting rooms, communal breakout spaces, bike storage, and a friendly on-site team ready to help however they can.

A quiet hub in the heart of the city

Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. Haylofts is a two-minute walk from Haymarket Metro, with Monument, Northumberland Street, and the university quarter all within easy reach. Whether heading to a client meeting, grabbing lunch, or popping out for after-work drinks, the best of the city is right on your doorstep.

But for those who work here, it’s the quiet energy of the place that really sets it apart. It’s not flashy, it’s not noisy-and that’s the point. It’s a calm, tucked-away space where businesses can focus, grow, and connect with like-minded people.

Big ideas in small spaces

Haylofts is particularly popular with small teams, startups and established businesses who want something a little more inspiring than your average corporate office. Tenants range from recruitment pros and design studios to tech companies and biomedical scientists, all drawn in by the mix of location, atmosphere, and the kind of friendly professionalism that has become Hoults Yards trademark.

And while it may be a peaceful spot, Haylofts is full of ideas. Tenants often collaborate, share advice over coffee in the courtyard, or come together for events and socials organised by the Hoults Yard team.

As one current tenant puts it: “It’s got everything I need, but it doesn’t feel like an office-it feels like my own little HQ. I genuinely look forward to coming in each day.”

The verdict?

If you’re looking for a city-centre base with bags of character, proper community vibes, and just the right level of calm, Haylofts might be your perfect fit.

You might not have known it was there, but once you step inside, you’ll be glad you found it.
