The Lucky Hotel is on the lookout for a Functions and Events Manager.

Our hotel was recently crowned People’s Choice Hotel of the Year, and with a fresh renovation, stunning new accommodation, an elevated comfort menu, and the exciting addition of a wood-fired pizza oven, we’re more buzzing than ever!

We want to do things differently. The food won't be ordinary pub grub, the entertainment won't just be DJ’s or cover bands. We want to light it up and we want someone who has wanted to let loose and have some fun giving Newcastle memorable experiences and best in class hospitality.
