Gateshead Beer & Music Festival first started off in 2010 with the emphasis on creating a great local community festival. Moving forward fifteen years the festival has grown into an event that is loved both locally and nationally, whilst maintaining its community beliefs. In 2016 we were delighted to be named as a Finalist in the Tyne & Wear Lifestyle awards – Best live experience.

The festival organisers pride themselves on striving to improve the festival year on year, this year there are no exceptions with the introduction of our Cocktail Bar, in addition to Craft Can Bar, Cider bar, Premium lagers and a new food area including our popular paella’s and wood fired pizzas.

This year’s festival incorporates the SIBA North-East Regional competition, featuring beers from Berwick -upon-Tweed to Sheffield. As always we will have a great selection of Ciders that are sourced countrywide. In addition to the popular Cava bar, we will see the return of our Gin Bar and Prosecco cocktails.
