Wedding entertainement at Wylam Brewery , Newcastle
Wylam Brewery is one of those Newcastle wedding venues that’s built a real reputation for its cool, alternative vibe, and it absolutely lives up to it. Set right in the middle of Exhibition Park with the lake in front, it’s one of the most unique and visually striking venues in Newcastle.
Originally a train manufacturing building, it has that proper Newcastle industrial heritage, and it’s been transformed into an incredible space for weddings, corporate events in Newcastle, and large social celebrations.
I’ve worked here many times as a Newcastle caricaturist, providing live caricature entertainment for both weddings and corporate events, and it’s always an amazing atmosphere. The space works brilliantly for live entertainment in Newcastle, with plenty of room to move around, interact with guests, and keep the energy flowing.
It’s also a dream venue for photography, it’s genuinely hard to take a bad photo here, so your photographer will love it. From a live artist’s perspective, it’s one of the best spaces in Newcastle to create memorable moments and keep guests engaged.
It can be a little tricky to get to, so it’s worth planning transport, whether that’s arranging buses or guiding guests in advance. That said, you’re right in the heart of the city, with plenty of nearby accommodation options.
And ultimately, if you’re planning a high-energy wedding or event in Newcastle, it’s hard to beat a brewery setting for atmosphere, interaction, and a proper celebration.
Vibe: industrial, quirky, alternative, spacious, energetic, social, iconic
Best for: evening entertainment, drinks reception, room turn around
I often work the evening here, when the energy is high and guests are ready to party. It’s the perfect time to bring in something interactive like live caricature entertainment in Newcastle, keeping guests engaged and the atmosphere going all night.
