The Gate, Newcastle

The Gate is a retail and leisure complex in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

The noted concert hall the Mayfair Ballroom was among the buildings demolished to make way for The Gate.

[1] The Gate has 19 venues spread across three floors, including a 16-screen Cineworld cinema and Aspers Casino.

The Gate building was built to replace the 35-year-old, 7-storey Newgate House, which was home to the prolific music venue; The Mayfair club.

The 19,235 m2, £80 million venue was built by Land Securities and the 12-metre-tall (39 ft) sculpture outside, "Ellipsis Eclipses", was designed by Danny Lane.
