About this location
Caviar Studios operates two studios in Newcastle city centre — Studio 1 at £85/hr and Studio 2 at £40/hr. The two-studio model gives productions options across budget levels within the same venue. At the Studio 2 rate of £40/hr Caviar is in the affordable bracket of the Newcastle studio market; Studio 1 at £85/hr positions toward commercial productions requiring higher-specification infrastructure. Newcastle’s Grainger Town city centre — Victorian commercial architecture, Grey Street, the Central Station — gives the local exterior a specific northeast English character. For productions based in the North East that need a dedicated studio environment, the Newcastle city centre location minimises crew travel.
City-centre Newcastle gives quick access to the Quayside, the Ouseburn Valley, and the Gateshead bank — all within a short drive for location work between studio sessions. The NE1 postcode puts the studio at the heart of the Grainger Town conservation area. Newcastle Central station is within walking distance for crews travelling from the region. Booking via Tagvenue; Studio 1 and Studio 2 are listed as separate rooms and can potentially be hired simultaneously for larger productions needing overflow space.
