## About

If your group chat feels suspiciously quiet on restaurant plans this weekend in Newcastle Upon Tyne, it’s because half the city’s already committed to festivals. Not the muddy-tent, four-days-off-work kind – the day-and-night, book-a-taxi, go-hard-then-home kind that have quietly taken over everyone’s calendars.

Right now, the energy is clustered around a tight little triangle: Kingston Park, Newcastle Red Bulls at Kingston Park Stadium, and Newcastle Racecourse out in NE3 5HP. These are the places people trust with their big nights – the ones you don’t have to explain in the chat. You say “we’re at Kingston Park” and everyone just turns up in something they can dance, sprint or stagger in.

On one end of the scale you’ve got Skate Island – Launch Weekend: pure ‘soft launch of summer’ vibes. Think people who still own beanies but are tentatively thinking about shorts, testing out new tricks, playlists and outfits in one go. On the other, RUGGER // Rugby 7s Festival at Kingston Park is bringing big-night-out energy disguised as sport – the sort of day where you say you’re going “for the rugby” and somehow end up in a conga line with strangers in retro shirts.

These six festivals that everyone’s liking, saving and actually showing up to aren’t random – they’re the ones regulars keep returning to at the same core venues, weekend after weekend. If you’re looking for things to do this weekend in Newcastle Upon Tyne and don’t fancy doom-scrolling until Sunday night, start here: pick a festival, pick a mate who can actually commit, and let Kingston Park and the racecourse do the heavy lifting.

Here’s what to put on the group chat shortlist:
- Skate Island – Launch Weekend – for skaters, lurkers and anyone who just wants a reason to wear Vans all day.
- RUGGER // Rugby 7s Festival at Kingston Park – big-day-out meets big-night-out, for people who treat sports days like festivals.
- Festivals at Newcastle Red Bulls: Kingston Park Stadium – the reliable choice if you want atmosphere, crowds and zero logistical faff.
- Newcastle Racecourse events (NE3 5HP) – ideal if you like your weekends with grass underfoot, drinks in hand and a slightly dressier crowd.
- Kingston Park gatherings – the catch-all if the plan is basically “somewhere busy, fun, and easy for everyone to get to.”
