There's no shortage of good accommodation to be had in Newcastle during the festival. Whether it's a hotel, backpackers, friendly drunken local's house or park bench, we can help hook you up with a good night's sleep. Where possible, we provide accommodation for all our writers, artists and other guests. If you're participating, make sure you let us know well in advance when you're coming and we'll sort it. Werd!
In the meantime, check the following sites for accommodation into:
