Which nights should you book for Bare Knuckle Boxing?
The event takes place on Saturday, 10 October 2026. If you are attending the bout and plan to leave Newcastle the same evening, a single night’s stay — checking in on 10 October — is likely sufficient. However, if you want to avoid post-event traffic or crowds, or if the bout finishes late, staying overnight and departing on 11 October may be more comfortable. Some supporters choose to arrive the evening before for convenience, but that is optional unless you wish to settle in early.

Can we get a room for four people?

How bad is getting away afterwards?
Leaving immediately after the event can mean navigating crowds and potential short-term road closures near the arena. Staying nearby avoids traffic, and walking back to your hotel is straightforward. If driving, allow extra time — local roads may be busier than usual, and parking availability is not guaranteed.

Yes — the city centre and Quayside are safe and accessible, with pavement-level routes and minimal traffic between the hotels and arena. Several hotels list family-friendly facilities, and the area has cafés and relaxed spaces suitable for younger supporters.
When should I book?
Book as early as possible — demand rises quickly for high-profile sporting events in central locations, and the closest hotels have limited room stock.
