A great building filled with a range of artwork. It was free admission and a total delight to visit. I loved the variety of styles, materials and the range that was available to purchase. I would love to return to try one of the workshops that are advertised....would I visit again? A big yes!

I haven't been inside this building for around 20 years when it housed an expensive restaurant. We had a light lunch in the cafe which was very good quality, decent portions and very good value. Following lunch we had a look at the artwork which was very varied with something that most people will find to enjoy but it did seem quite pricey.

We spent a wonderful afternoon at the Biscuit Factory, discussing our favourite pictures then we went off to the Factory Kitchen for coffee, tea, cake, salads, scones and icecream. N.B. The Biscuit Factory has a fresh water dispenser and little jugs – a particularly thoughtful accoutrement. The staff accommodated our surprise party of 12 by pushing tables together in their simply gorgeous “Plant Room.” We looked out into the sunshine from the warmth of our conversation and were transported to another equally interesting world. This was a top rate experience that comes with lots of compliments from the “New North East New Friends” Meetup group. Suzanne 15th October 2023

We ran a client event here. Staff a bit on the sniffy side but some couldn’t do enough for us. Food a bit pretentious (client feedback). But healthy and seasonal. Refreshments plentiful. Room a bit too cramped and hot for the numbers (heating system a tad keen). But an inspiring place in which to learn and we all parked out front for free. Some improvement pointers!

Beautiful gallery, so many lovely pieces to browse. We spent a peaceful hour wandering around. The staff were really lovely and friendly. Free parking outside the gallery, but there are limited spaces. However on-street parking just outside is free for two hours, which is plenty of time to see the gallery. The food was really amazing. We had a scone and the soup and sandwich. Portions were generous and freshly made. Only criticism of the cafe is that there was a long wait for a table even when there were a lot of tables free. Seemed a bit too short-staffed to manage front of house service. They could have done with a server dedicated to queue management and table allocation.

An interesting find and worth a visit to see the various art and crafts available. Lots on offer and worth a detour. The goods are displayed over 2 floors with nooks and crannies to explore everything from pantings to sculpture, glass works to jewellery and more. Lots of works from many varied skilled craftspeople available to buy or just enjoy. No pressure and you can browse and enjoy. Often they have exhibits or 'shows'. Regrettably we just missed one.

A lovely space to spend a couple of hours, a great range of art that seems to change quite frequently. A range of prices for most budgets, fine art originals and prints. jewellery, ceramics and homewares. The changing exhibition space on the landing is really lovely and showcases the art beautifully. The cafe food is truly fabulous and you can sit on a covered terrace with city views if the weather is favourable. Somewhere we will be visiting regularly!

I adore visiting The Biscuit Factory. It houses a stunning array of artworks from talented artists and craftspeople. It is truly an inspiring place to visit and their launch nights are a great opportunity to talk to exhibiting artists. Heather Moore The Peacock & The Printmaker

If you find yourself in Newcastle and you are an art lover this is a great stop. There is street parking outside and an attached cafe. The artwork is beautifully displayed with quite a variety of mediums. Being a potter and dabbling in glass I appreciate the wide range of choices and price points to chose from.
