Made @ The Bandstand, delivered in partnership with Purple Roomz Studios, was a free event celebrating Sunderland's thriving local music scene. The event transformed the historic bandstand into a vibrant outdoor venue, showcasing singers, rappers and DJs from across the city.
Families also enjoyed an Alice in Wonderland-themed farewell party at the nearby Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens ahead of a two-year closure for a £13.6m redevelopment.
