The newly re-furbished Playhouse Whitley Bay, a superb £8m entertainment facility serving the people of North Tyneside and beyond. Designed by Newcastle based Archial Architects this ’state of the art’ venue is the flagship of a major re-generation project, breathing new life into this famous coastal resort. The venue boasts 628 seats, a 10 seater Corporate viewing suite and a contemporary look and feel to its bars and lounge area, which features a superb sea view.
Now reopened, it boasts an elegant new glass foyer, front of house facilities, box office and bar facilities; in addition it features a redesigned auditorium with new seating, new green room and chorus rooms.
The transformation of the venue, situated on Marine Avenue, is a key part of NorthTyneside Council’s £64million regeneration programme for Whitley Bay.
The Playhouse is managed by SMG Europe, who locally own and manage Newcastle’s 11,000+ seater Metro Radio Arena and 1,000 seater The Journal Tyne Theatre.
The re-generation of the Playhouse has been part funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
