Panicking for Paddy’s Day tomorrow? These are the best places to bleed green in Newcastle

It’s that time of year again – it’s St Patrick’s Day 2026 in Newcastle. Every year, devout Christian individuals, earnestly commemorate the patron saint’s introduction of Christianity into Ireland – by splitting the G, shotting Baby Guinness, and piling into the pubs at 11am. Okay, the religious lines are blurred, but it makes for a memorable night, and at uni it’s expected you’ll have plans. But don’t worry if you’ve been busy with mid-modules or your diss, I’ve collated all the events you could spend your St Patrick’s Day at in Newcastle, into one big list.

Whether you like the mainstream club scene, or something a bit more underground, it’s all here, so you and your mates can get on with your sincere Christian celebrations.

Tropiloco (Multiple Events)

If you typically spend your Tuesdays at Tropiloco, then your plans are already sorted. With three ticketed events to choose from, Trop is going all out and spoiling you for choice: The Paddy’s Student Festival begins in the afternoon, starting your celebrations, before choosing between a Paddy’s Day Tropiloco Special at Digital, or their typical venue Social Club.

Paddy’s Student Festival

Where? Times Square

When? 16:00 – 23:00

Tickets? £8 Combo Ticket (access to Bingo Bonanza + Student Paddy’s Fest) / £6 Student Paddy’s Fest Ticket / Free! proof required.

After monumental success last year, Tropiloco is going all out for Paddy’s, throwing a massive day and night party with an array of Paddy’s Day celebrations at Times Square, right in the town centre. From 16:00 – 19:00 there’ll be a Bingo Bonanza, and from 19:30 onwards there’ll be a general Paddy’s Student Fest, including live Irish bands, competitive split the G stage games, a DJ singalong jukebox and “real life leprechauns running wild throughout the tent”.

The true Tropi way with and unlimited amount of baby guinness, pints of guinness and pots of gold. Whatever your opinions on trop, I can’t lie, leprechauns and pints of gold have me intrigued. They’ve truly pulled out all the stops and are bound to create a great atmosphere. And if your Irish you get in for free! Proof’s required though, unfortunately a dodgy Irish accent won’t cut it.

Also, all ticket holders are automatically entered into a first prize drawer for free drinks all day. Nice.
