Christmas - Christmas events in Newcastle and…

Moosenwirt

From Saturday 15th November until Tuesday 23rd December, wander Newcastle's Christmas Market, with an avenue of stalls leading up Grainger Street, the top of Grey Street and Old Eldon Square. The market stalls will feature traders mainly from the local area. Opening times will be 10am to 8pm (Monday to Saturday) and 10am to 5pm (Sunday).

The area around the Grey’s Monument will see a new performance area for live music, choirs, and other entertainment, not only adding to the festive atmosphere but also allowing more space and improved movement for everyone to fully enjoy the festive offerings. The Moosenwirt Alpine Bar, which proved so popular last year, will be returning to Grey Street.

The Grainger Market will be the heart of the city’s festivities this year, with a festive overhaul, Santa’s grotto and a programme of special events to be announced. Don't forget to visit Newcastle Quayside's popular Sunday Market as it gears up to the festive season every Sunday.

Laser Light City

Meet Father Christmas, step into magical performances and pantos and get into the festive spirit with a city break in Newcastle and Gateshead this winter. Get outdoors to experience the magic of a festive light trail this Christmas at The Northern Lights Trail. Christmas in Newcastle wouldn't be the same without a visit to Fenwick's Christmas Window. Head for a spin around the outdoor ice rink at Life Science Centre to really get in the festive mood.

Get your gladrags and sequins on ready to dance the night away throughout the Christmas period in Newcastle's top bars, clubs and pubs. And the fun doesn't have to stop there - why don't you join us in the Toon to welcome in the New Year?

The Quayside will come alive with two incredible firework displays! A free family-friendly firework display will take place at 6:00 PM, perfect for those celebrating early. Then get ready for HowayManay - a brand-new, ticket-only celebration that will transform the Quayside into a party village filled with live music, roaming performers, festive food stalls and more. Then, as the clock strikes midnight, all eyes will turn to the River Tyne for a spectacular firework finale.
