It is one of a series of Tyneside sites welcoming people into their buildings this winter as part of the Warm Welcome campaign.
Other local sites include the Baltic Art Gallery, Newcastle Cathedral and Seven Stories in Ouseburn while, elsewhere in Gateshead Town Centre, the area’s Citizens Advice and Age UK building will also welcome those who may want support this winter.
A post to the venue’s social media pages reads: “This winter, The Glasshouse is a warm space.For work, for rest, for anyone who needs a breather.
“Plug in, switch off, or just sit a while.There’s free Wi-Fi, charging points, baby-changing facilities, and free sanitary products in every toilet.
“And if you need a cuppa? In the Café, you can ask for a Warm Welcome tea or filter coffee.”
