ABOUT LAURELS

THE ULTIMATE ENTERTAINMENT VENUE ON THE NORTH EAST COAST

After the success of our Tapas Bar and Entertainment Venue in Blyth, we are proud to announce our big lass in Whitley Bay. Named after and in honour of Stan Laurel, whose father ran theatres on the North East coast, where he first tread the boards.

​

Founded by award-winning theatre producer Jamie Eastlake and writer and filmmaker Stephen Robertson, Laurels aims to provide a hub for artists and tapas lovers alike along the North East coast. 

​

With live theatre, visual arts and comedy coming to life in our theatre space, and tapas doing the rounds in our bar - we aim to bring the folk of the bay together. Allowing everyone an opportunity to access art and yummy food, in a chilled out, accessible space.
