Discovery Museum is the ideal place to find out all about life on Tyneside, from the region's shipbuilding heritage to inventions which changed the world.
Here at Discovery Museum we can offer you and your guests an exclusive and alternative wedding venue in Newcastle upon Tyne for your ceremony and reception.
