Event Details

The 48th Newcastle Beer & Cider Festival is back, we are proud to be back at Northumbria Students Union Championing Great Real ale and Cider.

With over 100 Beers , 30 Ciders and a selection of other beverages there is sure to be something for everyone

Tokens this year we are doing something a little different, Tokens will have a value of 85p. each beer/cider will have a tarrif sheet requiring multiple tokens. we'd expect the average beer to be 2 tokens for a third or 3 tokens for a half. This allows us greater flexiblity to bring you more exciting drinks that may have been out of reach from our single token system whilst also keeping the tokens simple and aligns with CAMRAs national policy.

This website is our PreSale to the festival, we expect that there will be tickets available on the door, which we would prefer contactless card payments for. walk ins will be let into the festival as capacity allows

Additional tokens will be available to purchase at the festival. Glasses can be kept as a souvenir or returned for a £2 refund.

Wednesday 15th April 2026 6pm – 11pm CAMRA members welcome from 5pm Trade session from 4pm - Are you Trade? email for ACCESS CODE to unlock trade tickets
