Family, food, and a beautiful space, that’s the heart of a good christening gathering. We have selected the best christening venues across Newcastle for this milestone moment. You'll find elegant church halls near Jesmond, pubs with private rooms by the Quayside, or bright, family-friendly function spaces in Heaton with plenty of room for prams, balloons, and sausage rolls. If you want something low-key or full-on Geordie glam, we’ve got a space that fits. Find the one that feels just right for your little one’s big day.
Newcastle City Centre is a popular location due to its convenience and range of venue types. The Biscuit Factory is a great choice if you're looking for an artistic, flexible space, while Event Northumbria has large-capacity halls perfect for traditional family gatherings. For something more private or small, the dining space at Mangal of Lezzet on the North Tyneside provides a cosy evening setting.
Check out the Blue Flames Sporting Club in North Tyneside. It charges £5 per person, which typically includes venue access and catering. Mangal of Lezzet also has a per person rate of £20, perfect for small family meals in a relaxed setting.
Many Newcastle christening venues offer in-house catering or allow you to meet a minimum spend on food and drink. For example, Gaucho Newcastle provides private dining spaces with tailored menus, while Chaophraya Newcastle has a minimum spend that includes catering. Always check the listing or message the venue to confirm menu options and dietary flexibility.
The Hooch is available from £150 per evening, and BrewDog Newcastle has a £300 minimum spend, making them both good options for smaller family events. You can also save by booking during off-peak times or selecting a venue that allows external catering, so you only pay a dry hire fee.
