Join us on for a frightfully good time, as we get set for the grand return of our Kids' Halloween Party - “It’s Good to be Bad”!

A fantastic variety of handpicked artisan local gift shopping stalls located in the Bridges Shopping Centre in Sunderland. 
Stalls include handmade gifts, art, delicious homebakes, gourmet sweet treats, photography, keepsakes, pet accessories, pamper products and so much more! 

Entry is free. 

Artisan food and drink market, in conjunction with Local Heroes, will be held on the second Sunday of each month going forward. Visitors can wander around the many stalls and purchase from a range of local independent traders offering the very best produce, from crafted gifts to specialist breads and cakes, organic vegetables, charcuterie and more!

On Sunday, the Local Heroes Sheepfolds Sunday Market is on from the new time of 9am-1pm, just for this Sunday only. It's because there is a Sunderland home game on the same day, later in the afternoon, and Sheepfolds are going to be playing it at their venue - so we have moved the market to an earlier time to accommodate!

A dazzling double fireworks spectacular is set to light up the night sky across Sunderland this New Year's Eve.

Following the success of the Women's Rugby World Cup celebrations, with its jam-packed programme of entertainment and stunning fireworks in Keel Square in August, the City Council is planning a double display to welcome in 2026.
