New Annual Festival

The University of Newcastle is proud to be presenting partner of New Annual.

New Annual is a ten-day festival of art, culture and creativity in the centre of Newcastle. Putting Newcastle on the cultural radar, New Annual celebrates our creative city where exciting, ambitious and accessible contemporary art and culture grows and thrives.

This partnership also creates exciting opportunities for our students to get behind the scenes and see how the festival comes together through Career Ready Placements and volunteerism. Students are offered valuable arts sector experience across media, marketing, music, tourism and event management.

New Annual is set to return in 2024 from 27 September - 6 October. Visit https://www.newannual.com/ to keep up to date with the festival programming.
