MEET THE PARTNERS


Show Up North brings together brilliant North East venues, organisations and businesses alongside national brands, all helping us create a weekend with more to experience, discover and be part of.

  • Event Northumbria

    The home of Show Up North across Saturday and Sunday.

    Event Northumbria gives us the space to bring the whole weekend together properly, with multiple rooms, stages, breakout spaces and the marketplace all under one roof.

    It’s right in the centre of Newcastle, close to the shops, hotels, restaurants and transport links, which makes it easy to get to and easy to build the rest of your weekend around.

  • Fenwick Newcastle


    One of Newcastle’s most iconic names and a brilliant supporter of North East-born brands. Fenwick will host part of our Friday programme, taking Show Up North into the heart of the city before the main weekend begins.

    The Newcastle Charlotte Tilbury Darlings from Fenwick will also be popping up in our market place for the wekend.

  • Eldon Square

    At the heart of Newcastle city centre, Eldon Square is one of the North East’s biggest shopping, dining and leisure destinations, with more than 140 stores .

    It’s also home to the newly opened Freight Island Newcastle, a 60,000 sq ft rooftop destination bringing together food, drink, live music and DJs, adding a whole new layer to what a day or night in the city centre can look like.

    For Show Up North, Eldon Square becomes part of our Friday programme, hosting special after-hours experiences and helping us take the event beyond one building and into the heart of Newcastle itself.

  • Maldron Hotel Newcastle

    Our hotel partner for Show Up North, giving guests an easy city-centre base for the weekend.

    Maldron Hotel Newcastle is right in the heart of the city, within easy reach of Event Northumbria, Eldon Square, Fenwick, bars, restaurants and the rest of the Friday programme, so it works brilliantly whether you are travelling in for one day or staying for the full weekend.

    We wanted the weekend to feel easy to navigate from the minute you arrive, and having a central hotel partner helps make that possible.

  • Revolucion de Cuba

    Home of our Friday night after-party, bringing everyone together after the opening events for music, drinks and a proper start to the weekend.

    Expect good music, great cocktails and mocktails, and an underground vibe.


  • Silent Disco King

    A major Show Up North sponsor and one of the brands helping us bring the whole weekend to life.

    Silent Disco King is supporting our marketplace and goodie bags, as well as supplying 150 wireless headsets that will be used across some of the weekend’s most immersive movement, music and after-dark experiences.

    Their support means they are part of far more than one session. They are helping shape the atmosphere of the event itself, from the moments guests arrive to the experiences they take away with them.

  • OddBalls


    OddBalls are joining the marketplace with their Design Your Own Pants activity, giving guests the chance to get creative and design something bold, colourful or completely ridiculous.

  • Sweatband


    Take on the Sweatband Wall Sit Challenge in the marketplace, test your legs, challenge a friend and see how long you can hold it.




  • Smart Works North East

    We’ll have a Smart Works donation point throughout the weekend. Bring along good-quality workwear, shoes, bags and accessories you no longer wear and help support women preparing for interviews and employment.

  • HiiTcentive

    For Show Up North, HiiTcentive is bringing the energy to our Saturday morning Hydration Rave by providing the DJ, and they’ll also be in the marketplace across the weekend so guests can discover the app for themselves.

    It’s a really natural fit for Show Up North: movement, motivation, community and finding more reasons to keep showing up.
