Food and drink village Feast Street is set to return when The Hoppings arrives in Newcastle in June.
Event organiser Crow Events is confident 2023 will beat last year’s record-breaking week, with Europe’s biggest travelling fair set returning to the Town Moor June 16-25.
As part of this year’s fair, Feast Street will be extended with more food stalls and the addition of a stage – where there will be live entertainment every day.
Already confirmed for this year’s Feast Street are Acropolis Greek Cuisine, Big Fat Indian Kitchen, Readheads Mac n Cheese, and Shoot the Bull gourmet burgers. Visitors can also enjoy food from Twisted Chick, Zenobia Arabian Cuisine, Chinese Noodles, and Wings and Things as well as Pisa Pizza, Churros Deserts, and Loaded Fries – with more names to be announced.
Diners can also visit the licensed bar, as well as enjoying a full programme of local talent with different acts appearing each night, including former X Factor contestant Abi Gerrado, Newcastle singer and guitarist David Stoker, and saxophonist and singer Andrew Usher.
Last year the 400 attractions at the Hoppings brought in 500,000 visitors who between them won more than 100,000 prizes and ate their way through 50,000 hot dogs.
