There’s just five weeks to go until TechFest North, which takes place at the Utilita Arena, Newcastle, on Thursday 28th May.
In 2026, TechFest is back with three unmissable events that are completely free for the trade to attend. It’s the first time Newcastle will host a TechFest, joining Coventry and Wembley as the three locations for this year’s events which will bring together the very best of what the aftermarket has to offer.
Doors open at 3pm to give garages the chance to visit after work and enjoy the full lineup of activities and £1,000s worth of giveaways going on until late in the evening.
As TechFest North falls during half term, there will also be plenty for kids to get involved with.
Utilita Arena Newcastle is the North East’s premier venue for exhibitions and events, giving GSF a world-class platform for its first TechFest of 2026. All trade tickets are free of charge, and include free parking, food, entertainment and industry insights delivered by popular TechTalks, providing the latest industry and technical insight to help garages thrive in 2026 and beyond.
Guests can enjoy access to leading suppliers and powerful networking opportunities. There’s also free award-winning catering, and free parking.
Each TechFest will be home to unmissable special offers on the night, alongside a range of TechFest merchandise available to buy.
