From a food festival full of treats to an exhibition by one of the country’s most celebrated artists, here’s some dates for the diary.
13. Rocking in the Free World, Herrington Country Park, September 18
Organisers of a free festival headlined by Emeli Sandé at Herrington Country Park have announced a new date for 2021. Rocking In The Free World is the brainchild of friends Andrew Kennedy and Ben Potts, who came up with the idea last year of organising a free one day festival at Herrington Country Park for NHS Staff and essential workers. Among those who agreed to take part for free was multi-award winning Sunderland-born singer, Emeli Sandé, who was lined up to appear at the event which was scheduled for May 22. But now Andrew and Ben have taken the decision to move the event to September 18 with the original line up of Emeli, Karen Harding, Sons of Eden and Christian Yu on the main stage.
