The art festival will be the final in the trio of Putting Sunderland in The Frame events, which have been taking place over the summer.

Following on from successful events held at both Roker Park and Roker Beach in July and the Sheepfolds Stables in August, the final festival is taking place at Sunniside Gardens on September 27.

The event - which includes an exhibition named Foundations and Futures - coincides with the monthly Local Heroes Food Market, which means that visitors can not only enjoy a whole host of music, entertainment and creative opportunities but can also tuck into street food from some of the region's top vendors.
