It’s been months since customers were last able to enjoy a pint or a glass of wine at a restaurant or pub.
Customers were able to visit a beer garden for the first time since November last year on Monday, April 12 as businesses across Sunderland reopened.
Some venues require a booking to visit, while others are on a first come first served basis.
Here’s nine beer gardens that are taking bookings.
