Sunderland residents invited to “Come Outside” at the next Expo Sunderland pilot event.

Wearside residents are being invited to “Come Outside” and “have a go” at new activities at Keel Edge, the meanwhile event space outside City Hall as part of the multi-million-pound Riverside Sunderland development.

“Come Outside” is the latest in the series of exciting pilot events aimed at residents and visitors, ahead of Expo Sunderland, which will go big from 2025. Led by Sunderland City Council in partnership with the University of Sunderland, Expo will showcase the transformation of the city centre and the Riverside Sunderland regeneration, exploring new ways to make our cities healthier, our homes greener, and our lives better.

‘’Come Outside’’ is aimed at all age groups with a wide variety of attractions designed for different interests and abilities during the half term holidays, between May 28 and 30, at Keel Edge and spaces in City Hall, Sunderland.

Sarah Gilley, Event Director for Expo Sunderland, said: “Come Outside is the next opportunity for Sunderland residents to either try out a whole range of new activities in the heart of the Riverside or to simply discover a new outdoor city scene for a healthier life.

“There will be plenty of family friendly and group attractions, including free-to-book low and high impact exercise sessions, electric driving tasters and City Hall tours. There will also be bike repairs, nature activities, arts and crafts and sessions within City Hall itself to promote sustainability, health and wellbeing, getting a sneak peek on city developments as well as the chance to be part of the footage for Expo Sunderland promotion in 2025.”

Come Outside visitors can also find out how they can either get into the professions of or support many of the businesses and organisations showcasing at the event and is also a great chance for those working in the city centre to visit the event during their lunch hour.
