Utilita Arena Newcastle has private hospitality lounges that can be used for networking, meetings, receptions and premium hospitality. The venue-hire service presents these areas alongside refurbished dressing rooms as options for smaller gatherings and corporate events.
The arena's refurbished dressing rooms can be used as private spaces for one-to-one meetings, small-team discussions, interviews and planning sessions. They are particularly useful when organisers require privacy within a major venue. The official venue-hire page specifically promotes them as spaces for intimate meetings and smaller corporate gatherings.
