Events coordinator, Stephen Sullivan said: “The fireworks displays are always a thrilling and exciting event. There is always such a buzz about the coast with Ocean Beach Pleasure Park open, all the rides lit up and the music that goes along with it all.

“It’s the perfect night to get wrapped up and enjoy the stunning displays on our glorious seafront. However we know that the hustle and bustle isn’t for everyone, that’s why our balcony viewing point offers the perfect vantage point to watch the displays.”

The New Sundial’s balcony will be limited to 90 people per display, meaning that while also providing an excellent view of the fireworks, it will also be a place away from the busy crowds.

Manager of The New Sundial, Shannon Kinghorn said: “This event offers the best view of the displays and is hugely popular year in and year out. As well as the balcony as the perfect viewing point, customers will also be served delicious home cooked soup and a bun while watching the display.

“The event is always hugely popular but we are mindful to cap it at 90 people, so that everyone has a great view from the balcony.”

To secure a spot on The New Sundial’s balcony for the South Shields fireworks display, tickets must be purchased. They are priced at £7 per person and can be bought from the venue or by calling them at 0191 389 6450.
