We are truly blessed by the amount of things that we have gone on here in South Tyneside so we want to shout out the best of them.
Here at the Shields Gazette, we recently launched our #Love Your campaign, which aims to be a love letter to our incredible borough as we look at the iconic seafront in South Shields to discovering more about the borough’s history at Jarrow Hall.
We’ll also be sharing some of the new and already established restaurants, pubs and bars from across the borough, as well as asking for your input as you share your favourite places.
We want to hear exactly what it is you love about South Tyneside. You can get in touch with us by emailing:[email protected].

A staple event on the South Tyneside calendar is the Great North Run, with the event stretching throughout the borough. Many from across South Tyneside come out to take part or show their support to runners. | National World

10. Northern Lights
In recent weeks and months, the Northern Lights have been really active in the night sky above the borough, especially over The Leas, in South Shields. | Steve Lamb

11. The people
As most southerners typically say, everyone is much nicer up north and it couldn't be more true for the people of South Tyneside. When called upon, the community always pulls together to help one another. | National World
