Stage Hands and Event Crew in Newcastle

Newcastle upon Tyne is the North East's main events city, with the Utilita Arena Newcastle, the O2 City Hall, the Sage Gateshead across the river and St James' Park hosting concerts, conferences and sport. The Town Moor stages the Hoppings fair each June, one of Europe's largest travelling fairs, and the Quayside hosts festivals, markets and fireworks. The Great North Run draws huge numbers each September. Conference hotels, the Newcastle Exhibition Centre area and heritage buildings add corporate options. The city's bridges, quayside and compact centre shape event planning, and demand for crew, staging and temporary structures spans the wider North East.
