Visitors can also enjoy an array of street entertainment, from the comedy duo Granny Turismo and flame-juggling circus street performer Stanley Youngman to musical performances by Steve Pledger and the North Tyneside Steel Band. 


With cookery demos, quirky acts and vibrant performances, the festival promises two days of fun for all ages.
