That’s right – the time has come! Here’s what to expect at Oktoberfest Newcastle 2026 – this year, bigger than ever.

The opportunity to enjoy one of the world’s most iconic celebrations in the heart of Tyneside is bigger and better than ever before this autumn.

Oktoberfest Newcastle has become a must-do experience, bringing the very best of Bavaria to Times Square over three weekends. And to ensure that nobody is disappointed and misses out on the sell-out event, each day is offering both an afternoon and an evening session this time round.

What to expect at Oktoberfest Newcastle 2026

The area will be a 2000-capacity bierhaus, complete with benches decked in traditional tablecloths. Guests will be able to clink steins full of beer and German lagers, eat frankfurters, bratwurst, currywurst and pretzels and listen to some of Europe’s best Oompah bands.

For the second time, organisers EVNT Inspirations have joined forces with premier German brewer, Brinkof, to partner with the event, which is the biggest one of its kind in the region.

Anyone who wants to dust off their lederhosen or don their dirndl should do just that and embrace the Oktoberfest experience.

The event will run on 10, 17 and 24 October. The afternoon sessions will run from noon until 5.30 pm and the evenings from 6 pm to 11 pm.

This is the seventh year Oktoberfest Newcastle is taking place, created by the region’s top events company, EVNT Inspirations. They are also behind hit experiences such as Paddy Fest, Newcastle’s Christmas Village and Moosenwirt.

Mike Hesketh of EVNT Inspirations said Oktoberfest got bigger and better every year:

“We are very proud of the fact we have created the biggest event of its kind in the North East,” he said.

“It has grown every single year and is always a sellout. The indications are that this year will be the same. It’s a huge party which everyone can join and really experience what Oktoberfest in Newcastle is all about.”
