Very intriguing pieces of contemporary art! Enjoyed viewing the sculptures up close to see the details. The centre have a few floors floors and some are meant for kids to play and interact with art

We had our wedding breakfast and reception at the Baltic and would highly recommend it! The venue itself was stunning; both the outside of it and also the views from within. We had our wedding breakfast on the top floor in restaurant SIX with amazing views over the Tyne and Gateshead. The food was great and we received lots of compliments from our guests for it. We had the evening reception in the Riverside room, with an outdoor terrace overlooking the Tyne. The sun was shining and the vibes on the terrace were perfect! The staff at the Baltic were great. The wedding planners helped us plan out every detail, coordinated with suppliers and were great on the day. We really appreciate all the hard work they all put in, and for looking after us so well. We had our dream wedding here and couldn’t have picked a better venue!
