Culture Hub
The Culture Hub will be a new flagship building on the market place and be an attraction for the whole community and visitors to enjoy.
The new venue will be operated by Jam Jar Cinema, who have operated an award-winning cinema in Whitley Bay for over a decade. The Culture Hub which has now secured planning permission will provide:
- A three screen cinema
- A Studio and multipurpose space for a range of events
- An area for creative activities
- A Café and bar area
Advance Northumberland are project managing the build of the Culture Hub. The project is funded by the UK Government’s Future High Street Fund and Northumberland County Council and is part of the £90m Energising Blyth regeneration programme that aims to revitalise the town. The investment will provide a significant boost to Blyth’s culture and leisure offer, creating a new ‘anchor’ development which will attract more people into the town centre throughout the day and into the evening, providing residents and visitors with new reasons to visit the town centre.
