Popular South Shields pub to mark St George’s Day with a veteran’s charity gig
The Steamboat is aiming to support armed forces veterans this St George’s Day.
The Steamboat, on Mill Dam, is marking St George’s Day (Thursday, April 23) with a charity evening for Veteran’s Response, a South Shields-based Community Interest Company (CIC).
The celebrations will begin at 4pm, with the pub urging members of the public to get down early to ensure that they get a seat.


A buffet will open from 5pm before Terry Gorman performs a live music set at 6pm - with all donations going to Veteran’s Response CIC.
The Steamboat’s Facebook page states: “We’ve got loads going on all day to keep the good vibes rolling.
“Our staff wore dragon costumes last year but if you would like to join in the fun you’re more than welcome to bring your own St George’s Day costume down or get a photo opportunity in the ones we provide.
“It’s all for a bit of fun and of course, we will be doing it all for a good cause.”
