Newcastle's Central Park to host huge end of season party with NUFC legends, live music and DJs

As Newcastle United fans are hoping the team will bounce back from the 5-1 defeat to Spurs end the season on a high, they're being invited to a massive party in the city centre.

Ever since the club's much celebrated takeover in October, there's been a real change of atmosphere around the club, with an amazing buzz at St James' Park, particularly for night time games under the lights and a turnaround in results, which has seen Eddie Howe's men climb out of the bottom three.

After going ahead at the weekend against Spurs, the Magpies ended up on the wrong end of a comprehensive defeat in London. But, that's done little to dampen supporters' spirits, with a packed house expected at St James' for the home game against Wolves on Friday evening.

NUFC will end their season away to Burnley on May 22, with a 4pm kick off at Turf Moor. And, for the fans who aren't making the trip to the north west, Central Park in the city centre, will host a huge end of season bash. The massive Times Square beer garden will become a fan zone for the occasion, with ex United players John Beresford and Steve Howey set to attend and give their verdict on the match and the season.

As well as football action on the big screen, there will be live music from local lads The National Anthems, a DJ set from Smoove & Turrell , a Beat the Keeper competition and an appearance from Geordie Shore star Scotty T.

Tickets are now on sale online from Fatsoma priced £19.95. The event will be hosted by Sky Sports presenter Keith Downie, who commented: "I’m looking forward to ending the season with Newcastle’s first Toon themed outdoor festival!

"I’m told this will be the first of many events run throughout the year and we’re hoping this will run alongside a string of victories for the team, resulting in Premier League survival and building towards a better future.

“Come and join us at Central Park to sample Newcastle’s unique match day atmosphere.”
