Newcastle · NE11
Summary
A professional film and photography studio in Team Valley, Gateshead (near Newcastle) with excellent road links. Up to 50 guests. Day hire £600. Quiet location away from city-centre noise.
About this location
Stator Studios operates from Team Valley in Gateshead, a well-established industrial estate on the south side of the Tyne. The location is deliberately quiet — an important detail for any production with location sound requirements. Team Valley’s road links, including direct A-road connections to the A1(M), make this practical for kit lorries arriving from outside the North East. The studio accommodates up to 50 people, putting it in the medium-large bracket for the Newcastle/Gateshead area where the studio market is smaller than in Manchester or Leeds. At £600/day this positions alongside equivalent facilities in those cities. The nearby shops and services reduce the logistics burden for all-day shoots.
For productions operating across the North East, Team Valley’s central-Gateshead position gives equal access to Newcastle city centre, Durham, and the Tyne corridor. The loading bay and on-site parking handle the kit movement that urban city-centre studios cannot accommodate cleanly. The A1(M) access south is useful for productions that also need to shoot in County Durham or Teesside — a day at the studio can be split with location work elsewhere in the region. NE11 postcode is ten minutes from the MetroCentre retail park if extended crew services are needed. Booking via Tagvenue at day-rate; contact directly for multi-day rates.
