Fashion is returning to the streets of Newcastle.

After a successful debut,  Conscious Couture Festival  is back for 2026, transforming Crown Street into a vibrant celebration of sustainable style, creativity and conscious shopping.

For one day only, the street will come alive with three fashion runway shows, live music performances, interactive workshops and talks, alongside a curated marketplace featuring vintage, pre-loved and sustainably-minded brands, makers and creatives.

Whether you're passionate about circular fashion, love discovering unique vintage finds, or simply want to experience a different side of the fashion industry, Conscious Couture Festival offers something for everyone. Meet local designers, browse independent retailers, hear from industry experts and be inspired by innovative approaches to fashion that put people and the planet first.

The festival celebrates the growing movement towards mindful consumption, showcasing how style and sustainability can go hand in hand while supporting Newcastle's creative community and local businesses.

Entry is free, with the full program, runway schedule and participating stallholders to be announced soon.
