The North East Coast Exhibition was a world's fair held in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear and ran from May to October 1929.

[2] It was opened on 14 May by the then Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII)[3] in what is now Newcastle's Exhibition Park.

When it closed on 26 October over 4 million people had attended (with an average of 30 000 visitors per day)[3] Several buildings were constructed in an Art Deco style to the designs of the official architects W and TR Milburn of Sunderland who had substantial experience in the fields of theatre and cinema design.

[8] The building was purchased by Shepherd Offshore Ltd in 2012 with the intention that it would be used to house a carriage museum.

[9] This did not go ahead and planning permission was granted to Wylam Brewery in September 2015 to develop a micro-brewery and events space.
