The South Tyneside Summer Festival has been attracting crowds of people to Bents Park every summer for many years.
The free festival is a hugely popular event with the people of South Shields and in surrounding areas, due to the amazing acts booked to perform right on our doorstep.
Last year’s festival saw the likes of Ella Henderson, Will Young, Kelly Llorenna, Phats and Small and many more take to the stage to an excited crowd.
