Why take part in Newcastle Food Month?

Our overall aim is to promote Newcastle’s ever growing hospitality scene, with a focus firmly on Newcastle and Food!

We want Novocastrians to eat out more often and in venues they may not have visited, and we want more visitors coming to Newcastle, staying overnight and eating at your venues.

  • Visibility – Your offering will be promoted in both the NFM event brochure and website, reaching a wide audience.
  • Social Media Spotlight – Benefit from exposure on NFM’s social media platforms and digital marketing campaigns, expanding your reach and engagement.
  • Media Opportunities – your most exciting, compelling and creative submissions will be offered to a wide range of media, for them to feature in their promotion of NFM. Early registrations will be used for ‘long lead time’ media to use at their discretion, so another reason to book early, even if finer details are not yet available.
