The Secret Tower

The Secret Tower is an intimate historic event venue situated within Sallyport Tower in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne. The tower forms part of Newcastle's historic town-wall complex and provides a distinctive setting close to the Quayside. Rather than being a conventional hotel or conference centre, The Secret Tower is primarily marketed as an exclusive wedding and private celebration venue, offering couples a relatively small and highly individual setting. The venue's principal function room is a bright, light-filled space with large arched windows and a neutral interior that acts as a blank canvas for event styling. It can be used for the ceremony and subsequently transformed for the reception. The venue also has an outdoor terrace/garden area where guests can enjoy drinks and socialise. The Secret Tower is particularly suited to intimate weddings, engagement celebrations and private parties. Its central Newcastle location provides convenient access to the Quayside and nearby accommodation. The venue offers in-house catering and an events team to assist with planning, while external suppliers can be incorporated into the event design. The venue's published capacity figures vary slightly between sources, with current listings generally placing the maximum around 75–80 guests. Because it is a historic tower, access also involves stairs, and one recent supplier specifically notes that the venue is upstairs with no lift.
