Party Planning in Newcastle
Party Hero brings together Newcastle venues, group activities, party boats and the suppliers who travel to them – harbourside pubs, beach clubs and lakeside function rooms, axe throwing, mini golf and harbour cruises, plus celebrants, photographers, caterers, DJs, photobooths, party buses and wedding cars.
Newcastle parties tend to start near the water. In the city, Customs House Hotel and Honeysuckle Hotel sit on the harbour foreshore, Bartholomew's on King Street and Ravella on Watt Street fill heritage buildings, and Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club in Wickham looks over the marina. South of the centre, Merewether Surfhouse has a beachfront event level, Souths Merewether runs four function spaces and Modus Merewether hosts parties inside a working brewery.
Around Lake Macquarie the rooms open onto the lake: The South East View @ Belmont 16s Sailing Club over Belmont Bay, TINTA Belmont on the shoreline, 8 at Trinity on the Trinity Point marina and Cams Wharf Tavern by the water. Closer to home, pubs such as The Bennett and The Greenroof in Hamilton, Lambton Park Hotel and Blackbutt Hotel in New Lambton take birthdays and work drinks in private rooms and courtyards.
When the group wants something to do, Newcastle has axe throwing at MANIAX Axe Throwing Newcastle on King Street, two mini golf venues at Broadmeadow in Newcastle Supa Putt and Rippit Golf, laser tag at Red Alert Laser Tag in Warners Bay and clay and sip parties at The Art Department. On the water, All Event Cruises takes up to 470 aboard Calmer on the harbour, while Island Cruze runs a BYO party boat for 38 on Lake Macquarie.
Each listing on Party Hero shows its spaces, guest numbers and starting prices where the business publishes them, and your enquiry goes straight to the venue or supplier – no booking fee added and no commission taken out of what you agree to pay. Compare a few by area or occasion, then send your details through.
Start with the room or the activity, then bring in the people who make the day. Newcastle listings on Party Hero cover venues, group activities, party boats, wedding and party services, entertainment, party supplies and transport, so a whole celebration can come together in one place.
These are the events Newcastle venues and suppliers on Party Hero are set up for. Each card opens a page suited to that occasion, so a harbourside wedding and a Friday-night 30th don't start from the same list.

Planning a Newcastle celebration comes down to a few choices: the area, the room, who you bring in and how everyone gets there. Here's the simple version – from choosing where to hold it through to confirming your date with each supplier.
Decide between the harbour and city centre, the beaches around Merewether, the pubs of Hamilton and the western suburbs, or a room on Lake Macquarie.
Choose a pub function room, a beach or sailing club, a heritage hall, a restaurant with exclusive hire, a brewery or a distillery bar.
Bring in a celebrant, photographer, florist or caterer, then a band, DJ or photo booth – and a party bus, Kombi or limousine to move the group.
Send your event details straight to each venue or supplier through Party Hero and confirm the booking directly with them.
No. Browsing and enquiring are free for clients, and you don't need an account to send an enquiry to a venue or supplier.
Yes. Your enquiry goes to the business itself and you confirm the booking with them – Party Hero doesn't add a booking fee or markup.
