Tyneside Cinema's Corporate Venue Hire supports local businesswomen - By Emily Duff
Tyneside Cinema, nestled in the heart of Newcastle, has long been a cultural hub for film lovers and creatives. But beyond its iconic Grade II-listed art deco building and its role in highlighting global cinema, the Tyneside is also a vibrant and versatile space for corporate events, playing a pivotal role in supporting local entrepreneurs.
One of its most recent high-profile events was the launch of BBC’s The Big Idea Works by Sara Davies, a local businesswoman and star of Dragon’s Den. By choosing Tyneside Cinema for her event, Davies highlighted the venue’s appeal to those looking to elevate their brand in a unique and inspiring environment while reinforcing reciprocal support for the local economy.
Tyneside Cinema is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a distinctive venue for their events. Whether it’s a networking event, launch party, or corporate meeting, the cinema offers a range of spaces suited to all types of occasions. Hosting monthly business breakfasts for Women of Steel, the Tyneside provide a platform for collaboration in a creative yet practical setting. Its partnership with organisations like NE1 and the Chamber of Commerce further emphasise its role in fostering local business connections and utilising the talents across the North East.
The cinema’s flexible and competitive pricing ensures that events are both accessible and impactful. For instance, when North East Screen booked the cinema, Tyneside Cinema offered a tailored deal, proving its commitment to providing bespoke packages for businesses of all sizes.
Tyneside Cinema also plays an active role in championing women in business. The venue has partnered with the global WOW (Women of the World) Festival to host “Think Ins” where participants, regardless of gender, help shape the future of the festival as it makes its North East debut. For this, Tyneside Cinema provided a dedicated space, the Coffee Rooms, offering refreshments and a welcoming environment for collaboration and discussion. This initiative is just one example of how Tyneside Cinema offers more than just a venue – it provides a platform for dialogue and growth, particularly women-led initiatives.
Beyond corporate events, Tyneside Cinema plays a key role in nurturing local talent. The cinema regularly supports initiatives like New Writing North, providing discounted spaces for screenwriting courses. As part of its commitment to the arts, Tyneside Cinema also houses a screenwriter-in-residence, further strengthening its connection to the creative industries in the North East.
Tyneside Cinema is dedicated to supporting the next generation of creatives. Involved with the Young Women’s Film Academy, they display the work of young female filmmakers. For International Women’s Day, the cinema will screen Bend It Like Beckham, which will be presented by the Academy and followed by a showcase of short films made by them. Additionally, the Tyneside played a pivotal part in the MOBO Awards Fringe Events, hosting workshops with local youth groups and schools. These workshops, which culminated in the premiere of a youth-created video alongside live performances from local rapper Kay Grayson, are just one example of how the cinema is helping to shape the future of creative industries in the North East.
With affordable rates, flexible event spaces, and a commitment to supporting local businesswomen and creatives, Tyneside Cinema is the ideal venue for corporate events. More than just a venue, it’s a partner in creating meaningful, impactful events.
By choosing Tyneside Cinema, you’re not only selecting a historic, but iconic venue also – you’re supporting a local business that is deeply committed to empowering creativity in the region.
