Preparations are in full force at Sunderland Live for our events coming up over the next few months including Houghton Feast, Remembrance Weekend and Christmas.

However, this week a few of the team have also been preparing for the first Sunderland Live Event Forum. The forum has been set up as a chance for people to come and find out more about Sunderland Live, discuss past event s and help to influence events in Sunderland in 2014.

The first forum will take place next week at Sunderland Software Centre on the evening of September 12th at 5.30pm. The invitation to attend is open to anyone who is interested in shaping the future of events in Sunderland.

To come along to the Event Forum please send your name and a contact number to [email protected] to be added to the list.
