What’s On in North Shields – April 2026

What’s On in North Shields – April 2026

Big games. Good music. Busy nights. April’s shaping up to be a strong one across North Shields, with something on pretty much every week. Here's our pick of the best.

Live Sport – April Highlights

If you’re planning your weekends around the football (like most of us), here are a couple worth locking in:

  • Crystal Palace vs Newcastle – Sunday 12th April, 2pm
  • Arsenal vs Newcastle – Saturday 25th April, 5:30pm

Plus a few big fixtures across the league:

  • Chelsea vs Man City – Sunday 12th April, 4:30pm
  • Chelsea vs Man Utd – Saturday 18th April, 8pm
  • Everton vs Liverpool – Sunday 19th April, 2pm
  • Man City vs Arsenal – Sunday 19th April, 4:30pm

All games are shown live at Apres and Chalet 86 with full Sky Sports and TNT coverage. If it’s a big one, expect it to be busy — get in early.

Quiz Nights at Apres

  • Thursday 9th April
  • Thursday 23rd April

Proper pub quiz energy, free drink prizes, and a jackpot up for grabs. Speak to the bar or message on socials to book a table.

Live Music & Local Events

The Exchange has a strong lineup this month:

  • 1st April – Spring Concert (local showcase)
  • 4th April – Now 80s Live
  • 6th April – Bonkers Bingo
  • 25th April – Magic Queen (tribute night)

These tend to sell out — worth booking ahead.

Longsands Summer Drop

The new Longsands summer range lands this month — in-store and online.

Built for longer days, better weather (hopefully), and nights that don’t end when they should.
