Stack has announced it will close in Newcastle, but its Sunderland venue will remain open for at least another five years.
Newcastle's Stack box park style venue in Pilgrim Street will shut on May 2 to make way for the development of Pilgrim Place into offices.
But Sunderland' Stack, in Seaburn, has no plans to close. Instead, it will expand to offer games as part of its second phase. Unlike Newcastle's Stack in Pilgrim Street, there are no long-term plans to redevelop the plot in Seaburn.
