Sunderland in September.

Comyface

Hi, I'm going to Sunderland in Sept with 8 others (all females in our thirties) for the weekend.

Any suggestions for daytime plans for the Saturday please? Dirty Dancing is sold out I think

it is very easy to get to Newcastle and Durham from Sunderland, you could check if there is anything going on there that you fancy

Newcastle has the Theatre Royal and the Sage so you may find something that takes your fancy

And the Toon, is a better night out than Sunderland. :beer:

The Winter Gardens is worth a look:

Then walk along Fawcett Street, over Wearmouth Bridge and along the riverside path to the National Glass Centre:

Neither attraction need take hours, which might suit, and the walk will give you a glimpse of a post-industrial landscape.
