Step back in time to Roman Britain, marvel at some of the finest artworks in Britain or explore the lush surroundings of Sunderland's Winter Gardens with Team Challenge Company at the helm.

Gone are the days when delegates sat rigidly in front of clipboards in featureless, soulless conference rooms. Instead, corporate clients are increasingly choosing Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums' unique, inspirational venues for their Corporate Entertainment, Team Building, Team Development and Evening Entertainment needs.

Whether you need a venue for an Indoor Event or night of Evening Entertainment  for 300 or an Experiential Learning Workshop for 30, we can offer your business a range of venue hire opportunities from our portfolio of 12 museums and galleries, all of which benefit from the events and catering experience of award-winning Sodexo Prestige and compliment the Team Challenge Experience.

Choose from historically fascinating sites such as the Roman Forts and Musuem at Arbeia in South Shields and Segedunum in Wallsend, or treat guests and delegates to some of the North East's greatest treasures at Newcastle's Great North Museum: Hancock. Rail enthusiasts are sure to be inspired by the Monkwearmouth Station and Stephenson Railway museums in Sunderland and North Tyneside respectively, while the Shipley, Laing and Hatton galleries in Gateshead and Newcastle provide a visual feast for visitors. Learn about Tyneside's shipbuilding heritage at Newcastle's Discovery Museum or wonder at the curiosities on display in the Sunderland and South Shields museums - you can even find our more about mining at Washington F Pit.

All our venues boast varied conference and function rooms as well as restaurants or cafés ideal for Indoor and Outdoor Corporate Entertainment, Team Building and Development activity days as well as Evening Events for groups of all sizes and, because catering and events at all our venues is managed by Sodexo Prestige, you can be assured of the finest service and standards.
