Newcastle Thunder Strikes Partnership with Wylam Brewery

Newcastle Thunder is delighted to announce a premier partnership with Wylam Brewery, uniting two of the North East’s most ambitious brands. 

Both businesses share a drive for quality and a relentless work ethic on and off the pitch. As the club continues to build its presence in the rugby league world, aligning with a business that shares its "North East First" mentality was paramount.

Richie Metcalfe, CEO of Newcastle Thunder, commented:
"We are incredibly proud to be pairing with Wylam Brewery. When we look for partners, we look for brands that mirror our own identity - ambitious, authentic, and deeply rooted in this city. Wylam is a Newcastle institution. Their commitment to excellence and their distinct local pride aligns perfectly with the culture we are building at Thunder. Together, we’re showing that this region has the talent and the drive to compete at the highest level."

Beyond the Pitch: Events and the Vaulkhard Group

The scope of this partnership goes further than traditional sports sponsorship. Wylam Brewery, along with the wider Vaulkhard Group, will collaborate with Newcastle Thunder to host a series of exclusive events across their iconic venues in the city.

From the stunning Palace of Arts in Exhibition Park to the various Vaulkhard-owned locations throughout Newcastle, including our partner venue The Town Wall. 

This multifaceted collaboration ensures that Newcastle Thunder remains a central pillar of the city’s social and cultural fabric, providing fans with unique experiences away from the matchday.
