Following a multimillion-pound refurbishment, Stockton Globe is now bringing the world’s biggest names in music and comedy to the North-East of England.
The major restoration project, funded by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund, saw this beautiful art deco building transformed into an event venue fit for the 21st Century.
Situated in the heart of Stockton, the Globe originally opened its doors in 1935 and over the years played host to many international names from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to Sadler’s Wells Ballet and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company.
Stockton Globe is the largest venue in the Tees Valley with flexible audience capacities. The venue can accommodate both fully seated and partially standing events due to removable stalls seating. This allows for maximum capacities of 1,649 for fully seated performances and 2,700 for standing in the Stalls combined with seating in the Circle.
With the addition of a full orchestra pit and lift, the auditorium has been designed with variety in mind and can accommodate a wide range of live entertainment performances, events and partnerships. In 2025, the venue launched a flat floor installation, allowing the auditorium to provide even further possibilities for gala dinners, conferences, and immersive events.
