A 21st usually comes with speeches, a slideshow and a guest list that runs from uni mates to great-aunts. The room needs a microphone, a bar the group can call its own, and enough space for both crowds to mix without one drowning out the other.
Newcastle's pubs handle this well. The Del Hotel on Darby Street has a Level 1 event space for up to 500 with a private bar and fireplace. Bartholomew's on King Street waives room hire against a food minimum of $300 for up to 50 guests, and its mezzanine bar takes 150. In Charlestown, The Sandbar at Mattara Hotel holds 120 on its top floor, and The Greenroof in Hamilton includes a free PA in its beer garden – handy when the speeches start.
For a 21st that wants more than a function room, All Event Cruises charters Calmer on Newcastle Harbour, with a sound system and microphones for up to 470 standing, while Island Cruze runs a skippered two-deck BYO cruiser on Lake Macquarie for 38. MANIAX Axe Throwing Newcastle and Novacade VR suit a smaller group warming up before the main event.
Match the 21st to the size of the crowd:
Line up music from Newcastle's DJs, or browse the photo booths that travel to 21sts.
