et to open its doors in 2020 following a multi-million-pound refurbishment, Stockton Globe will bring the world's biggest names in music and comedy to the North East. A major restoration project funded by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund will see this beautiful art deco building transformed into a 3,000 capacity internationally-renowned venue fit for the 21st Century. The refurbishment will also see a smaller 250 capacity venue open in the adjoining building. Situated in the heart of Stockton High Street, Stockton Globe originally opened its doors in 1935. During its life as an entertainment venue it has 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. Once redeveloped, Stockton Globe will stand in a revitalized Town Centre which has music, performance, the arts, and creative industries at its heart.
