Things to Do in Newcastle This Weekend

Newcastle's got plenty happening across the coming days, whether you're after a night out, a chance to learn something new, or a weekend that celebrates the region's culture and community. From dance floors to sailing clubs, coastal venues to libraries, there's something to suit just about everyone's mood.

If you're keen to get creative or active, there are workshops and classes running across Lake Macquarie and the broader region. For those who'd rather kick back and enjoy some entertainment, live music and themed parties are on the agenda at some of Newcastle's favourite spots. And if you're thinking about the future or wanting to support a good cause, there are events designed with those things in mind too.
