Plans submitted on the 30th of September would see the return of the popular shipping container venue in time for Christmas.

The container village closed in May of this year leaving fans of the popular spot, which had brought in over 3m visitors, devastated. The venue was shut down in order to make way for new HMRC offices being built on the premises bringing an end to Stack’s four-year run.

However, new plans reveal that Stack will be relocating. A new temporary site has been proposed on Forth Street at Stephenson’s Quarter (behind Central Station and next to the Crown Plaza Hotel).  

Developers plan to have the venue open before Christmas with hopes that the site will be able to house the popular Hadrian’s Tipi over the festive season which has become a pillar of the Newcastle holiday season in recent years. If plans are approved the spot will also include several shipping container bars, a double tipi and street food vans with the owners of Stack expected to release CGI renders of plans for the site in the near future.

Neil Winch the CEO of Danielli Group, who own Stack, has said that he was “overwhelmed by the emotional response our customers shared about their sadness at the closure” and “very excited to be able to announce our plans”. He then added “Our customers have been very vocal in letting us know that they would be delighted to see Stack come back sooner rather than later”.

Fans of the venue can be hopeful for approval of the plans with the city council saying they are ‘100% commited’ to development of the Stephenson’s quarter.

Also, plans for a permanent Stack location in Newcastle are being finalised and are set for release in the near future, meaning more good news for anyone that has missed Stack over the summer.
