A night at the pictures – as it should be! The Tyneside Cinema is THE place to go to in Newcastle if you love film. Based right in the heart of the city, this fantastic independent marvel shows the very best movies from all over, mixing mainstream modern greats with the best of films from right across the world. The Tyneside’s screens are also something rather special and are fully licensed too, so you can enjoy a full-blown night out at the flicks in a comfy leather armchair that’s something much, much more than the norm. It’s also home to three of the best cafes in town: the legendary Tyneside Coffee Rooms, The super cool cocktail bar/cafe, Intermezzo, and the gorgeous Tyneside Bar.

Imagine a world before the internet, before TV and when newspapers barely had any pictures printed in them. Back in the 1930s a phenomenon swept the UK as News Theatres were set up to show newsreel films to the public.
People flocked to these cinemas to see world events as moving images for the very first time. The Tyneside Cinema was originally built as Newcastle’s News Theatre in 1937 and today is the finest surviving news reel cinema in Britain.
Every day of the week our new permanent exhibit describes the history of the building and how the news was filmed and screened in the days of the newsreels. You can hear the stories of the people who made the news and what the newsreels meant to local people, you can even experience the thrill of making a projector whirr into life – first hand!
The man who built the Tyneside in 1937 thought a film should be an event and set out to design a picture palace, complete with mosaics and oriental decoration, which began the job of transporting you out of your everyday from the moment you crossed the threshold.
We believe that he had exactly the right idea and hope you’ll see that the new Tyneside Cinema is made to be more than just a soulless place to see the latest flicks.
Inside the building you will find a range of beautiful spaces, great cafés and exciting activities that are all designed to allow you to indulge your passions, enrich your spirits and spice up your life.
