Set in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne city
centre, The Assembly Rooms is one of the city's finest and
grandest Georgian buildings dating back to 1776.
This historic building is of international
importance and has been sympathetically restored to match
it's former glory and is to this day, according to the inscription
on it's foundation stone laid in 1774:
| "Rooms dedicated
to the most elegant recreation" |
Designed by William Newton, the building
was completed and the opening celebrated with an assembly
in Newcastle's famous Race Week, on Midsummer's night in 1776.
Now into it's fourth century The Assembly Rooms have in the
past operated as a casino.
A combination of great pride and particular
attention to detail during the restoration of the Assembly
Rooms, combined with unparalleled levels of service have ensured
that the Assembly Rooms are once again a premier location
for both corporate and social functions.
