Father’s Day 2025 is just around the corner, and if you’re lucky enough to be celebrating it in the North East, you’re in for a treat.
Whether you’re staying at one of our stylish HNFC Stays apartments or you’re a local looking to spoil your dad, there are plenty of Father’s Day ideas in Newcastle and beyond to help make the day truly special.
From indulgent roasts and outdoor adventures to budget-friendly fun, here’s how to celebrate Father’s Day in Newcastle in a way your dad won’t forget.
If you’re still hunting for Father’s Day gifts and your dad’s the type who already owns every gadget imaginable, think experience over objects.
A well-planned day out in Newcastle, whether it’s golf and a steak or puffins and pints, can often mean more than anything you’ll find wrapped in paper.
No Father’s Day is complete without a hearty meal — and thankfully, Newcastle’s dining scene is ready to deliver:
Thai: Chaophraya Newcastle is serving a specially designed Father’s Day menu, offering two or three-course options featuring standout dishes like duck red curry and their showstopping weeping tiger steak
Steak: If your dad’s a steak lover, Miller & Carter is offering an epic 18oz, 75-day aged bone-in ribeye steak just for the occasion
Roast: Gusto has you covered with their signature roasts — all the trimmings, none of the washing up. Choose from sirloin of beef, pork belly with crackling, roasted chicken, or a rich mushroom and red wine pudding
These make perfect, no-fuss Father’s Day gifts for dads who appreciate good taste and great company.

If you’re after something a bit more active this Father’s Day, Newcastle has a variety of exciting experiences on offer:
Mulligans Crazy Golf is a fantastic choice for some light-hearted family competition.
With three adventure golf courses, pool, darts, and beer pong, there’s enough fun to keep everyone entertained.
For something a little different, why not book an axe-throwing session at Game of Throwing?
Whether your dad’s a total beginner or already channelling his inner Viking, there’s a session to suit every skill level, complete with expert guidance to keep things fun and safe.
Is your dad an outdoorsy type? Book a trip to the Northumberland coast for a sealife safari with Serenity Farne Islands Tours.
These boat tours offer sightings of puffins, grey seals, and even dolphins. It’s an unforgettable way to spend Father’s Day out in the wild.

Treat the whole family to a day at Whitehouse Farm, where children and parents alike can enjoy a number of activities, from animal feeding to tractor rides.
If you’re after Father’s Day ideas that tick all the boxes for family fun, this is a guaranteed winner.
Not every celebration needs to be a big affair. If you’re keeping it low-key this year, head to The Gate for arcade games and a relaxed cinema experience.
Or, for a laid-back night in, order a Domino’s, queue up Die Hard (a classic dad favourite), and spend quality time together — because it really is the thought that counts.
Whether you’re treating Dad to a hearty meal, an outdoor adventure, or a relaxed evening in, Newcastle offers something for every kind of celebration.
Don’t wait until the last minute — Father’s Day 2025 falls on Sunday, 15 June, so start planning now to avoid disappointment.
