From a hidden whisky lounge to live entertainment, full rundown of what's in Sheepfolds Stables Sunderland

Two years in the making, Sunderland’s £4m Sheepfolds Stables finally opens its doors to the public from 6pm on Friday, August 2 with a bumper weekend of entertainment.

Once used to house working horses from the old North East Railway Co, the stables date back to 1884 and can be found at the bottom of Sheepfolds Industrial Estate in the shadow of the Stadium of Light.
