About Freight Island

Welcome to Newcastle's Newest Neighbourhood! Freight Island is one of the most exciting, forward-thinking and disruptive food markets in the world. It's a game changer and more importantly, it has soul. Established in Manchester, Freight Island is bringing an exciting mix of culture, food, drinks and music to Newcastle. An island above the city, blurring the lines between a food hall and a festival, Freight's unique set up reflects the time, the demographic and the city. An urban oasis where guests can enjoy delicious food, great drinks and live entertainment. It's a place people can come for a coffee, stay for lunch, meet for drinks or make a whole day and night of it. We specialise in curating an evolving calendar of residencies and menus that span emerging local talent and nationally recognised names, keeping the experiences fresh and engaging. We care about the details. How things look. How they feel. How people move through the space, and what stays with them after they leave.
