Stockton Globe
Overview
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. A 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. The refurbishment included the development of The LINK in the adjacent building. The LINK is a contemporary café bar and 200 capacity venue that hosts up-and-coming regional and national acts. 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 operated by ATG Entertainment - a world leader in live entertainment - and is the company's flagship UK music and comedy venue. ATG Entertainment were founded in the UK in 1992 and have grown to be the world's number one live theatre company, covering every discipline in the industry: operating venues, ticketing platforms and producing award-winning shows.
