The hottest summer on record may be behind us, but with a change in season comes a new wave of exciting entertainment - kid's events, live sport, and live entertainment at STACK Seaburn - the innovative shipping container hub situated on Seaburn's coastline.
The much-loved venue welcomed over 150,000 visitors through its doors during the 6-week school holidays, and it would seem that STACK is hoping to keep this momentum up – announcing a stellar schedule that stretches from September to December, just in time for the festive period.
To tickle your fancy, and help you get those all-important dates in your diary – we’ve rounded up the cream of the crop, so you know ‘What’s On’ across the months: Starting in September, STACK visitors will be given the chance to have their taste buds tantalised with the return of Sunderland’s Restaurant Week. Running Saturday 17 to Sunday 25 September, diners can sample their way through the venue’s eclectic range of street food for less, with many of the operators offering a special deal across the 10 days.
Bellies full, we turn to look at STACK Seaburn’s event and entertainment offer: from acoustic acts, to full scale band performances – the social hub caters for all music tastes and ages. New to their line-up, The mOObs band will debut STACK’s stage on Sunday 11 September, to bring you the best in northern indie, rock and classic pop covers.
Usual weekly activities including STACK’s Tuesday Trivia Quiz and Thursday’s Rocks Off Juke Box show will also be accompanied by the site’s increasingly popular monthly events: Kroud Karaoke and So 80’s evening, to create a well-rounded month of activity. October brings Halloween fun and ghoulish activities for the kids to get involved in – with popular character meet and greets taking up the majority of daytime activity during the half term school holidays.
But the event that has everyone talking, must be the return of Rob Lamberti – the UK’s #1 George Michael Tribute. On Thursday 13 October, be prepared to have your mind blown as Rob takes centre stage and embodies the ‘Careless Whisper’ singer effortlessly with his accompanying band – some of whom are George Michael’s personal musicians.
