ChachaBuchi

ChachaBuchi ought to be one of Newcastle’s best kept secrets, but because it’s such an amazing place people can’t help shouting about it. If you want an off-the-wall venue for business meetings and events for up to 900 guests, this is it; magic, rusticity and sophistication merge in equal measures – think of it as an understated wonderland, a playground for grown-ups.

For big events, book the whole of ChachaBuchi; there’s capacity for 900 standing, 200 cabaret style and 183 dancing. A golden staircase takes you to the Mezzanine where there’s room for 100, a private bar and two shuffle boards; also holding 100 is The Chalet, a secret ski retreat with bark walls, a mountainside vibe, private bar and bathrooms, and access to the garden and firepits. For more intimate soirees pick The Living Room, seating 20 at the heart of the venue. That covers all kinds of business meetings and events, from awards ceremonies, meetings and conferences to product launches, team building and training days.

There’s up-to-the-minute AV equipment, highspeed wifi, live music and entertainment, and party planners ready to arrange a not-to-be-forgotten experience - karaoke, ball pool, cocktail masterclasses, firewalking, burlesque, karting and private dining are all on the list. Sip cocktails, tap beers and ciders, dine from an eclectic menu with Alpine inspired dishes, Asian sushi and world classics; the backdrop is low key glamour, with sumptuous velvets, a jaw-dropping stone-carved bar, exposed wood and brickwork, and original artwork.

Book ChachaBuchi for an afternoon, an evening, or a whole day of fun. Newcastle Central Station is just a 2-minute walk away.
