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.

For tokens this year, we are doing something a little different: tokens will have a value of 85p. Each beer/cider will have a tariff sheet requiring multiple tokens. We expect the average beer to be 2 tokens for a third, or 3 tokens for a half. This allows us greater flexibility 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 aligning with CAMRA's national policy.

Presale tickets can be purchased via the link and we expect that there will be tickets available on the door; we would prefer contactless card payments for these. Walk ins will be available to 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.

Thursday 16th April 2026 12pm - 11pm

Thursday will witness a hat-themed day, encouraging participants to showcase their creativity, with the option to purchase unique headwear from the St Oswald’s stall.

Friday 17th April 2026 12pm – 11pm

Saturday 18th April 2026 12pm – 7pm

Last orders will be called 45 minutes before close, allowing 15 minutes for final orders.

Bars will close 30 minutes before close (time at the bar), allowing 30 minutes to finish drinks, return glasses or anything else before closing.

Getting to the festival

We are on the first floor of Northumbria Students Union. (The students will have disappeared for Easter so we take over.)
