NOVUM Summer Festival

NOVUM Summer Festival

Friday 7 August – Sunday 9 August 2026

A three-day takeover of culture, play and entertainment across Newcastle city centre.

NOVUM Summer Festival will transform city centre streets, squares, venues and unexpected places into a fun playground of performance, creativity and community celebration.

Iconic spots and hidden corners will burst into life with a packed family-friendly programme of free events, outdoor spectacle, playful installations, creative workshops, music, unmissable performances from local, national and international artists and plenty of “you just had to be there” moments.

Explore. Play. Watch. Enjoy. Wander.
