What's On in Newcastle

Shorty Sundays | NQ64 Newcastle — NQ64 throws open its doors for the little ones at 11:00am, transforming its vault of classic arcade machines and retro games into a wonderland that is absolutely built for small hands and big imaginations. It is the kind of Sunday morning that keeps kids talking for weeks — and quietly delights the parents who grew up on these very games. Check the website for prices and booking details before you head in.

Hoedown Sundays | Cowgirls And Country — Pull on your boots and get ready to stomp, because Cowgirls And Country is serving up a full-on hoedown from 2:00pm and it promises to be an afternoon of infectious, foot-stomping country energy. At £40 this is a proper event with commitment — think line dancing, big hats, and the kind of communal joy that makes a grey November afternoon feel like a barn on a warm summer night. Grab your crew and saddle up.

The March Violets - Unnatural History Tour Pt2 — Goth royalty the March Violets roll into The Cluny at 7:00pm for the second leg of their Unnatural History Tour, and if you were there for part one you already know how good this is going to be. Emerging from the Leeds post-punk scene in the early eighties, their music is all swirling atmosphere, dark romance, and undeniable hooks — perfect for a November night in one of Newcastle's finest intimate venues. Check the website for ticket availability before they sell out.

Pink Moon Rising - A Nick Drake Tribute by Alex Lewis — Just next door at The Cluny 2 from 7:30pm, Alex Lewis offers a quietly stunning tribute to the late, great Nick Drake — one of British folk music's most fragile and beautiful voices. This is an evening for sitting close, letting the candlelit warmth of the room wash over you, and rediscovering songs like Pink Moon and River Man played with genuine care and reverence. Check the website for tickets and treat yourself to something genuinely moving.

BILLY'S SMASH HITS - 80s & 90s Party Every Sunday — Billy Bootleggers closes the weekend with an absolute banger from 8:00pm as the Smash Hits party fills the room with the greatest pop and dance floor anthems of the eighties and nineties. This is the kind of night where strangers become friends over a shared passion for Shania, Blur, and Whitney — sweaty, loud, joyful, and completely unapologetic about it. Check the website for details and make sure you have a good pair of dancing shoes.
