This year, Blandford Street will be transformed into a remade and reloved outdoor street party on August 8 from 10am to 3pm. It's a vibrant, family-friendly day celebrating: sustainability, creativity, practical skills and community connections. This isn’t a market or a large-scale festival, it’s a day where the street becomes a space to swap, learn, create, repair, play, and connect. Free to attend. | Sunderland Echo
