SUNNISIDE

FOOD MARKET

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!

Why not book The Sheepfolds' first-ever kids’ Disney Grinchmas party! Meet The Grinch, Cindy Lou, Santa Stitch, Santa Mickey and two of the Sheepfolds Stables’ elves. This is going to be a Christmas party to remember! See our Santa's take part in games and activities – who will be the number 1 Santa this year?

Tickets are £7.50 per child (age 1 years and over) and £2 per adult.

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.

It’s that time of year again — Sunderland Cocktail Week is BACK!
