Welcome to Show Up North. A feel good, high energy, confidence boosting weekend packed with movement, music, conversation, socials, pop ups, fitness, nightlife and wellness. An atmosphere that stays with you long after Sunday.
Festival energy meets girls weekend, meets fitness and wellness. The fresh start you didn't realise you needed. All of it, in Newcastle, across one October weekend.
You'll move between some of the North East's best venues, studios and spaces trying new things, meeting new people, dancing, moving, laughing and learning. A weekend that reminds you what it feels like to do something just for yourself.
You do not need to have done any of this before. You do not need to arrive knowing anyone. You just need to show up.
Come alone or come with friends. However your weekend looks, it will be yours.
Expect incredible instructors, feel good movement, after dark socials, local independents and national brands across the weekend.
FRIDAY
The weekend starts on Friday evening and it starts on your terms.
Pop ups run across the city, each one with its own energy, its own vibe and an active social twist. Pick the one that appeals, book in and show up. No experience needed, no expectations attached.
Friday is about arriving, and getting involved from the minute you do.
All pop ups will be within easy reach of Newcastle city centre. Perfect for anyone travelling to visit, or living locally.
SATURDAY
Show Up North takes over Northumbria University Student Union for the weekend and
Saturday turns the volume up. Multiple rooms, back to back sessions and an independent marketplace running throughout.
Spin, strength, cheerleading, dance, choreo and more. You move between rooms, try new things and ride on the atmosphere.
The Maldron Hotel takes over for the evening for our weekend mixer.. Live music, themed cocktails and the best kind of Saturday night, after an incredible day.
SUNDAY
Sunday Well Spent.
Sunday at Northumbria University Student Union is a different kind of full. Multiple rooms and sessions focused on wellness, restoration and balance. The pace is intentional, every session designed to help you recover, breathe and reconnect.
Everything wraps at 2pm. Plenty of time to make your way home, decompress and start the week ahead, with your energy cup well and truly full.
