The Glasshouse International Centre for Music is a distinctive glass-domed cultural and events venue situated at Gateshead Quays on the River Tyne, overlooking Newcastle's skyline. Formerly known as Sage Gateshead, it is best known as a major music and performing-arts centre, but its facilities also make it a substantial conference, exhibition and corporate-events venue. The building contains two auditoria, flexible flat-floor function spaces, smaller meeting areas and a large central concourse. The largest space is Sage One, a three-tiered auditorium with capacity for approximately 1,640–1,700 people, depending on the configuration and source. Sage Two provides a more intimate auditorium for up to 330 people. For conferences and functions, the Northern Rock Foundation Hall provides a flat-floor space for up to 200 people according to the venue's own events information, while the Barbour Room can accommodate up to 250. The venue also offers a large central Concourse, which can be used for exhibitions, dinners, parties, networking and registration. The Glasshouse provides in-house catering, technical production support, free Wi-Fi, accessible facilities, parking and event-planning assistance. It is particularly suitable for conferences, conventions, awards ceremonies, exhibitions, product launches, corporate events, performances, receptions and large-scale cultural events.
Sage One is the Glasshouse's principal auditorium and largest formal event space. The dramatic three-tiered hall has a large central stage and sophisticated technical infrastructure. It is particularly suitable for major conferences, conventions, presentations and large performances, with the venue promoting its high-end production capabilities for large-scale events.
Sage Two is the Glasshouse's more intimate auditorium and is notable for its ten-sided design. The space can accommodate up to 330 people and can be configured for conventional staging or more immersive in-the-round events. It is suitable for conferences, presentations, performances and smaller large-scale gatherings.
Northern Rock Foundation Hall is a flat-floor event space with approximately 10-metre-high ceilings, wood-panelled walls and full-length windows overlooking the Concourse. It includes a built-in truss rig and acoustics designed for orchestral rehearsal, making it especially versatile for conferences, exhibitions, receptions and corporate events.
The Barbour Room is a flexible function room with a private glass balcony overlooking the Tyne Bridge. It provides space for networking and drinks alongside the main event area. Its flexible layout makes it suitable for conferences, dinners, receptions, presentations and corporate events, and it can be divided into two smaller rooms.
