SUNNISIDE FESTIVE

FOOD MARKET

In an effort to give children from disadvantaged wards in Sunderland a memorable Christmas, Sunderland Music City is launching a series of activities to raise money for a local charity. 
 
A unique and impactful initiative, Music Against Child Poverty aims to combat the pressing issue of child poverty through the power of music, with all proceeds going to Sunderland charity Love, Amelia.  
 
Love, Amelia is a children’s charity offering direct support to families experiencing poverty and hardship across Tyne and Wear and County Durham. Since 2019, the organisation has distributed over 13,000 bundles of essential items to those in need.  

The campaign’s flagship event Music Against Child Poverty Live will see countless Sunderland music stars take the stage at The Fire Station to raise money for this crucial cause. 

When a heinous henchman kidnaps a cow and a princess from the downtrodden town of Boggy Bottom, young Jack finds himself on an adventure that he thought only existed in story books!

Expect a wholesome hero, a punch-packing princess, a feisty fairy, a silly sibling, a witty widow, a slippery servant, a kind-hearted king... and a cow with some beef. Oh... and a very large magical plant, of course!

The event everyone is talking about is coming to Sunderland this December! Brace yourself for a boozy bingo blowout - a raucous, flirtatious affair!

Friday, 20 December, is a Christmas cracker-themed extravaganza, gearing us all up for the Christmas countdown with all the biggest Christmas bangers you might expect and a few you might not!
