Blackfriars Hall at Ouseburn
Built over the foundations of Hadrian's Wall, Blackfriars Hall is adjacent to the beautiful Catholic Church of St Dominic's; home for over 130 years to Dominican monks or 'Blackfriars' as they became known on account of the black cloak they wore over their white religious habits. (The colours are rumoured to be the origins of famous stripes of Newcastle United.)
Today the Hall is run by the St Vincent de Paul Society; a voluntary not-for-profit charity dedicated to tackling poverty and disadvantage.
Located on New Bridge Street at the gateway to the fashionable Ouseburn Valley, the Hall is less than a mile from the City Centre and only 15-20 minutes' walk from Monument or Central Station.
With a capacity of 250, a sprung dance floor and stage, full catering facilities and a bar managed by a local microbrewery, Blackfriars Hall is the perfect place for a special celebration, banquet or event.
The Hall is available for private hire at very reasonable rates throughout the year and every booking helps the SVP carry on their good work.
