An exciting street food festival is coming to South Shields at the end of September.

Feast at South Shields Market is a special two-day event, taking place on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 September, where you can enjoy quality food, drink and family friendly entertainment, all in the scenic surroundings of a traditional market square.

This fantastic event aligns to one of South Tyneside Council’s key community priorities, announced earlier this year, to support all our town centres, villages, high streets and hospitality.

From 12 midday to 8pm on both days, an area of South Shields Market Square will be transformed into a mini festival setting with a grassy seating area, bar, street food vendors and a stage where perfromers will provide entertainment as you tuck into delicious street food or grab some bargains at the market stalls. 

South Shields Market Square already hosts two great weekly markets on Fridays and Saturdays from 9am to 3pm where you can rummage through the curios, books and bric-a-brac at the Friday & Flea Market and find everything from garden ornaments to handcrafted chocolate at the Saturday Traditional Market. Feast at South Shields Market is expected to boost its popularity still further.

Why not pop along to the general market to grab a bargain before enjoying the entertainment and street food during Feast at South Shields Market? 

We will be making regular announcements in the lead up to the event to reveal the street food vendors and performers that will be joining us during the two-day event.
