The Cummings Room at Newcastle City Hall is a first-floor event room beside the Concert Hall with views over Civic Park. City of Newcastle’s venue information lists cocktail 150, banquet 100, theatre 130, classroom 54 and boardroom 30, with approximately 193 square metres. The room includes private bar facilities and is often used as a concert-hall foyer or reception and refreshment area. Official hire information says the Cummings Room is booked in conjunction with the Concert Hall; it should not be advertised as automatically available standalone. Confirm specific dates, all applicable fees, any permit requirements and what is included with the operator before booking.
