The Lock Up

Have you been on the lookout for unique places as your wedding venue? This is definitely going to pique your interest. The Lock-Up is situated in the middle of Newcastle's heritage grounds. This was initially built to confine both men and women who committed unlawful acts; the Lock-Up was Newcastle's police station and was in service from around 1861 to 1982. The place shows all the traits of colonial architecture that government buildings in that era were built on. Ideal for a medium to an intimate wedding, this contemporary arts and events centre is quite a stunner, with its history and architecture. And it will most definitely get you both a lot of credit from your guests for choosing this as a very one-of-a-kind wedding venue.

The Yard is the space that is available as a wedding or reception venue. This was in earlier times used as a men's exercise courtyard, and some remnants of those days are artistically being left behind. This Space takes you back in time with its carved graffiti, overhead exercise bars, and the solid iron doorway, which becomes more memorable when you choose to start your journey into your new life through it, the perfect entry for you as a gorgeous to-be bride. The venue is all equipped with modern facilities to make sure that you both and all your lovely guests are relaxed and can enjoy the ceremony fully. There is enough space for small to medium-sized weddings or receptions and other functions like cocktails, private parties, long table lunches, formal dinners, and more.

Along with the Yard, the entry foyer space can also be utilized if and when needed. The venue can hold up to 70 guests banquet, 100 guests cocktail, 80 guests theatre and 40 guests classroom style.
