BalletLORENT is located at The John Marley Centre, Muscott Grove, Newcastle upon Tyne NE15 6TT.
The John Marley Centre, originally known as Whickham View School, has a rich history in education and community service. Established in 1936 as a Secondary Modern school, it served the west end of Newcastle until the 1980s, when declining population numbers led to its closure in 1992.
Following the closure, the site was repurposed as the John Marley Centre, becoming the West End campus of Newcastle College until 2013. Today, the John Marley Centre is not only our home but also a hub for various groups and artists, including Breeze Creatives, West End Prep, Newcastle Circus Arts, and long-term residents Marley Gym and Scotswood Garden.
