ABOUT NEWCASTLE FOOD MONTH

A full-blown flavour fest, that’s what. We’re talking pop-up dining, chef masterclasses, indulgent long lunches, wine tastings, and events that’ll make your group chats explode with envy. If you love great food (and let’s be real, you do), April is your month.
FEATURE EVENTS
Whether you’re the type to photograph your meal from five angles or just here for a good time and a great bite, Newcastle’s food calendar is stacked with over 70 Feature Events happening throughout April. Expect chef collabs, exclusive degustations, and the kind of dining experiences that make life taste better.
PLATE DATES, PRESENTED BY FIRST CREEK WINES
