Following weeks of anticipation and speculation the location of the first ever WearSlide event has been revealed

We can confirm that the giant 100 metre water slide will take place in Herrington Country Park on Saturday April 25 2015, offering hundreds of sliders the opportunity to splash their way through a fantastically unique experience.

Herrington Country Park is the perfect location for this event and we look forward to making use of the natural facilities the park has to offer. We can also announce a smaller slide which will run alongside the giant WearSlide for younger participants and those who have slightly smaller adrenaline appetites!

We want to make tickets as accessible as possible so we will be putting a number of tickets on sale very soon priced at £5 for children and £10 for adults and we’ll also be giving away some places nearer the time.

Those wanting to take part will be able to purchase tickets soon from www.sunderlandlive.co.uk . As well as adult’s and children’s tickets Sunderland Live are also going to be offering packages for charities and registered organisations and anyone interested should email [email protected] for further details.
