01 June 2026

TechFest North is more than just a trade event, it is a day out for the whole family. This half term, join us at the Utilita Arena Newcastle on Thursday 28th May and experience everything from hands-on racing simulators to creative activities for younger visitors, alongside the latest automotive innovation.

TechFest is the number one aftermarket technology exhibition, organised by GSF Car Parts, the UK’s fastest-growing motor factor. The event brings together the best of the aftermarket world under one roof with everything you need to take your garage business to the next level. With hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of guests expected, TechFest is not one you’ll want to miss.

With plenty to see, do and enjoy, it’s the perfect opportunity to combine business with a great day out. Utilita Arena Newcastle is the North East’s premier venue for exhibitions and events, giving GSF a world-class platform for its first TechFest of 2026. All trade tickets are free of charge, and include free parking, food, entertainment and industry insights delivered by popular TechTalks, providing the latest industry and technical insight to help garages thrive in 2026 and beyond.

In 2026, TechFest is back with three unmissable events that are completely free for the trade to attend. It’s the first time Newcastle will host a TechFest, joining Coventry and Wembley as the three locations for this year’s events which will bring together the very best of what the aftermarket has to offer. Guests can enjoy access to leading suppliers and powerful networking opportunities. There’s also free award-winning catering, and free parking.

Each TechFest will be home to unmissable special offers on the night, alongside a range of TechFest merchandise available to buy. Doors open at 3pm to give garages the chance to visit after work and enjoy the full lineup of activities and £1,000s worth of giveaways going on until late in the evening.

Steve Horne, CEO at GSF Car Parts, said: “Newcastle is a new city for TechFest to visit, which will allow us to have a hugely positive impact on local businesses. Garages in the area can expect a family-friendly atmosphere with free food, drinks, entertainment and industry insights."
