This summer thousands of people will be visiting Sunderland to see Beyoncé take to the stage, while England will take on Australia in a friendly ahead of the European Championships.

A meeting on Thursday will show businesses how they can share in the millions of pounds these events will bring to the Wearside economy.

SAFC commercial director Gary Hutchinson said: “This meeting will provide businesses in the region with in-depth information so they are best positioned to benefit from what will be two huge events for Sunderland and the region.”
