Description
Freight Island crafts, curates and operates distinct mutli-use venues built around atmosphere, community and immersive guest experiences. Across our spaces we bring together world class food vendors, unique and craft beverage concepts, live performances and a curated events programme to redefine how people gather, eat, drink and socialise. Transforming from daytime community hubs to electrifying night time experiences and flexing seamlessly from corporate private hires to unforgettable, headliner DJ’s, Freight offers a space for everyone, no matter the occasion. Joining Freight Island means stepping into an extremely fast paced, creative environment where high operational standards drive unforgettable guest experiences at scale.
Pushing the boundaries of modern venue space, our Newcastle location is Freight’s biggest footprint… yet. Set beneath a dramatic retractable glass roof and boasting a spacious terrace, this massive rooftop space blends high energy food market culture and social drinking with Pyr, an elevated live fire dining experience. In the heart of the city, and with more to come, Freight Island will become home to Crux, a 1200 capacity music venue set to open it doors in early 2027.
