Explore a vibrant urban park featuring a play area, lake with swans and ducks, skatepark, sports facilities, and award-winning food venues including a micro-brewery.

Exhibition Park is a popular Newcastle destination with a rich history dating back to the 1887 Royal Jubilee Exhibition. Today, it offers a stunning mix of tree-lined paths, large lawned areas, beautiful flowerbeds, and a picturesque lake home to swans and ducks. Families enjoy excellent facilities including a brilliant play area for children of all ages, open spaces perfect for ball games, picnics, or outdoor activities. The park features a large skatepark, outdoor gym equipment, tennis courts (free to play), croquet lawns, and opportunities for basketball and football. The network of well-maintained footpaths and cycle paths makes it accessible for prams and wheelchairs. The park hosts regular events and activities including the free Park Run every Saturday at 9am. Food and drink options are exceptional, with Bandstand! serving pizzas, brunch, and coffee, while the impressive art deco Palace of the Arts houses Wylam Brewery—a 30 barrel micro-brewery with an on-site pub and restaurant perfect for summer evenings. Suitable for all ages from babies to adults, Exhibition Park combines heritage, recreation, dining, and natural beauty in one accessible location. Dog walking, running, and relaxation are equally popular pastimes in this beloved city park.

Hoppings 2026 at the Newcatsle Town Moor!!! Hoppings 2026 at the Newcastle Town Moor!!! 🎡🎢 We had an amazing time every day we went! So many rides, and especially the jacket potatoes from Spud Bros 🥔🤤. Those guys are insane—the amount of toppings they add is incredible! I absolutely loved it. 😍 Already looking forward to next year! 🤪🥳🥳

We had a lovely Saturday going around Wylam Brewery x Foodbattle44 Slice Wars. There was loads of pizza to choose from. The next food battle is on at the end of May for the Mexican Standoff ... I will return.

Massive open grass park! Really nice to stroll through, even on a cold day. Not too busy and happy dogs frolicking off leash.

Tonight me and Star went on a nice evening walk through Exhibition Park in Newcastle, it was a nice walk with a bit of history in the mix too. Star loved going past the tennis court the most seeing the balls go back and forth. We also saw 7 wild rabbits on our walk back too.
