Newcastle | Beer Footy Food Festival

The Beer Footy & Food Festival celebrates its 10th Birthday at Henson Park!

It was here a decade ago that the idea first came to life — bringing together craft beer, great food and suburban rugby league to create the kind of day out that feels like a throwback to the golden era of the game.

Few grounds capture that feeling quite like Henson Park. Walk through the gates and it feels like stepping back in time — fans spread across the hill, kids kicking footies between the trees and the unmistakable buzz of a crowd enjoying a proper day at the footy.

But as always with the Beer Footy & Food Festival, the entertainment doesn’t stop when the whistle blows.

Returning favourites Pro Wrestling Australia (PWA) will once again bring their larger-than-life ringside action to the hill, while the now-infamous Streaker Bullrush returns — the festival’s most ridiculous and hilarious spectacle, where brave (or questionable) volunteers attempt to sprint across the field while avoiding a pursuing pack of security guards.

This year’s main game will see the Newtown Jets take on the Newcastle Knights, adding another chapter to the Jets’ proud history at the ground we’ve called home since 1936.

With a huge lineup of craft brewers, street food vendors, DJs, family activities and thousands of fans expected on the hill, the 10-year celebration at Henson Park promises to be the biggest and most entertaining edition yet.

After all, when it comes to beer, footy and a proper day on the hill — Henson Park is where the Beer Footy & Food Festival began!
