What's on in High Ford

Tyne & Wear, England

Share:

From farmers' markets to craft fairs that'll actually have something you want to buy — High Ford knows how to put on a do. We're talking proper local events here: quiz nights that get genuinely competitive, coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee (not the instant stuff), and village fêtes that are surprisingly well organised. No stadium concerts or festivals that cost a week's wages, just the good stuff happening in village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about. We're here to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Young Musicians Project X Mixtape

Young Musicians Project X Mixtape

WMC's Young Musicians Project are thrilled to welcome young people from Edinburgh's Mixtape music group to perform together at Independent, Sunderland! The latest in a string of cultural exchanges, which have led to young Mackem artists playing sold-out shows at Sneaky Petes in Edinburgh, this event is a celebration of emerging musicians from both sides of the border. Representing Sunderland, we've got... The prince of sad dance bops, Ethan Stayman, the Kate Bush-tinged enigma that is Ava & The Fates and brand new brash indie rock from Shipyard Rejects. Your offering from Scotland consists of 90's nostalgia inducing alt-rock from The Citrines and in your face indie duo, Southpaw. Opportunities like this are huge for emerging artists and we want to keep making them possible, so please get down and support these super talented young people! Independent. Venue, Disco, Drinking Den. We are Sunderland. On show days, ticket holders can enjoy 20% off food and drinks at local business’ Koji, Mexico 70, and The Ship Isis. We recommend booking the restaurants on weekends. Flat level parking is available directly opposite the venue, free after 3pm on weekdays and after 6pm on Saturdays & Sundays.
