💙 We’re proud to announce the official charities for Newcastle Pinfest 2026! 💙

Every year, Newcastle Pinfest brings together Australia’s incredible pinball community for an unforgettable weekend of family-friendly fun. With visitors travelling from across Australia, hundreds of pinball enthusiasts, families and first-time players come together to enjoy 115+ pinball machines, all set to FREE PLAY, creating an atmosphere unlike anything else.

But Newcastle Pinfest is about much more than pinball. It’s about bringing people together, creating lasting memories, and giving back to the local community. Every game played, every ticket purchased and every machine contributed helps support worthy local charities, making a real and lasting difference where it’s needed most. Just as importantly, it’s an opportunity to give back to our local community.

We’re delighted to announce that proceeds from Newcastle Pinfest 2026 will proudly support two outstanding local charities:

💙 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲

💙 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗢𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀
Supporting people to live independently by delivering nutritious meals, friendly visits and essential community care.
