On August 2 and 3, Urban Fest-organised by City Centre BID-will bring some of the UK’s best BMXers, skateboarders, street food and live music to Sunderland’s Sunniside Gardens.

Now, organisers have announced plans to round off the first day in style, with an official Urban Fest After Party on Saturday, August 2, from 3pm at retro gaming bar, Spacebar, Waterloo Place.

This high-energy event will bring drinks deals and themed food menus and festival-goers who bring their Red Bull token cap from the main Urban Fest event will be able to claim a free selected drink.
