The Biscuit Factory Overview

In Newcastle upon Tyne stands The Biscuit Factory, the country's largest gallery devoted to craft and design. Located in a renovated Victorian warehouse, the gallery hosts rotating seasonal exhibitions including the work of over two hundred contemporary artists and craftspeople. They have been open since 2002, and their exhibitions incorporate joint efforts with national agencies, arts organisations, and initiatives including the International Print Biennale, Craft Scotland, and the National Glass Centre to showcase the work of young and mid-career artists.

Located in Newcastle, England's cultural epicentre in Ouseburn Valley, The Biscuit Factory is the largest independent art, craft, and design gallery in the UK. The two-story gallery, located in a renovated Victorian warehouse, showcases fascinating sculpture, original prints, contemporary fine art, and jewellery, exceptional craftsmanship, and design-led homewares.

In terms of modern and contemporary art, this gallery dominates the field in the United Kingdom. Before its transformation into an art gallery in 2002, the building served as a biscuit factory. Paintings, glassware, ceramics, prints made by hand, jewellery, textiles, and even furniture make up the bulk of the displays and wares for sale. The displays are always interesting and unique. The displays are for sale both at the attraction and online.
