When you need to hire some space....
At Newcastle Meeting House (FMH on the map) we can provide rooms to hire to meet a wide variety of needs in an easily accessible location.
Archbold Terrace is just ten minutes walk from Newcastle Civic Centre, or across from Jesmond Metro station via pedestrian crossings or a short subway. Jesmond Metro station is on the main Metro train line which is linked to the Central Train Station and Newcastle Airport. It is also served by several bus routes, including numbers 1, 2, 6, 21, 22, 38, 306 and 308 which stop on Sandyford Road just a few yards away. See the map below or follow this link for a description of walking routes from the nearby Metro station and bus stops.
By car: Take the motorway turnoff for the coast, then turn right at the intersection into Osborne Terrace, right again into Sandyford Road and into Archbold Terrace. Only limited parking is available on the forecourt of the Meeting House but there is a large public car park off Archbold Terrace.
