Freight Island

The new Freight Island venue will transform the former Debenhams department store into a vibrant hub of activity, offering a dynamic mix of experiences from family-friendly events and global street food by day to high-energy DJ sets and live performances by night.

One of Freight Island’s standout elements will be its extensive food and drink offering. The venue will host a carefully curated selection of eateries and traders, including a service-led restaurant overseen by an exec chef, global street food stalls, and a food hall with communal seating beneath a retractable roof.

Freight Island Newcastle will take inspiration from some of the world’s leading social and entertainment spaces, bringing a mix of cultural and immersive experiences to the city from kids’ raves and Michelin-star-level dining to live performances and late-night parties.
