SIGNATURE EVENTS 2026

These are the ones you plan your calendar around.

Signature Events sit at the heart of Newcastle Food Month. Bold, one-off experiences that bring celebrated chefs and big ideas to the table. They’re designed to surprise, delight, and spoil you a little.

Expect ambitious menus, standout locations and collaborations you won’t see anywhere else. From long lunches and late nights to conversations built around flavour.

Tickets are limited. The moments are not to be missed.
