AMF Christmas Social 2026

It’s been quite a year for the Advanced Manufacturing Forum!

From celebrating our 20th anniversary and the first year of AMF WOMEN to bringing manufacturers together through site visits, industry events, business briefings and new collaborations, 2026 has certainly given us plenty to talk about.

Now it’s time to round off the year in good company.

We’re heading back to Pitcher & Piano on Newcastle Quayside for an informal afternoon and evening of conversation, connections and a little Christmas cheer.

Whether you’re a regular at AMF events or haven’t managed to join us for a while, we’d love to see you.

There are no presentations, no formal agenda and certainly no PowerPoint slides! Just a relaxed opportunity to catch up with familiar faces, meet new people and celebrate the businesses and individuals who make our manufacturing community what it is.

Event details

Date: Thursday 17 December 2026

Time: 4:00pm – approximately 8:00pm

Venue: Pitcher & Piano, Newcastle Quayside

Format: Informal Christmas networking and social gathering

Feel free to join us from 4pm and stay for as long as you like.

Looking ahead to 2027

We’ll also be hosting an AMF End-of-Year Review and 2027 Outlook event earlier in the day, building on the success of last year’s session.

This would be a separate opportunity to reflect on the year across North East manufacturing, hear from regional business representatives and look ahead to the challenges and opportunities for 2027.

Further details will follow when arrangements are confirmed.

Come along and celebrate with us!

Our Christmas Social is about more than networking. It’s an opportunity to recognise the relationships, collaboration, and shared commitment that make the AMF community so valuable.

We hope you’ll join us for a festive catch-up and help us finish 2026 on a high.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The AMF Christmas Social is open to AMF members, partners, colleagues, and invited guests. Please register in advance so we have an idea of numbers.
