The theatre, which includes stages, communal areas, and a café, is available for corporate hire.

Businesses can also sponsor events, volunteer projects, and equipment, and become a corporate partner.

Most recently, the venue has hosted new networking events by Gosforth Business Network, led by entrepreneur and Uniquethinking founder Sam Hook.

Mr Hook said: “I chose to host the Gosforth Business Network at Gosforth Civic Theatre because it’s such an integral part of the local community which I live and work in, and supports a wide range of groups and initiatives.(Image: Supplied)

“The team at the theatre is fantastic to work with, and with their excellent facilities and room hire options for businesses, this partnership is a real win-win.”

Rob Huggins, founder of Liberdade and Gosforth Civic Theatre, said: “Gosforth Civic Theatre is passionate about forging links with other organisations, working in a reciprocal way to support the local community as it supports us.

“The support of local businesses enables us to deliver some fantastic initiatives, while the theatre, which has undergone a £2.5m transformation in recent years, is the ideal setting for a wide range of corporate and business events.”

“I would urge any local or regional businesses looking for ways to support the arts and social change to get in touch and see how we can work together.”
