Bents Park entertainment will include:
?A range of characters roaming the park including Zelva the giant tortoise, Pongo the bird, a giant lobster, starfish and more!
?A silent disco by Hed Fone Party powered by electric cycles
?Facepainting and glitter art by Rainbow Jelly Face Painters
?️ Craft stalls
? Dream Engine with their show Arco - an aerial performance under a free-standing, air filled arch, 12m high
?Music from King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys
We look forward to welcoming local community groups, schools and voluntary organisations in South Tyneside to be part of the celebrations.
So come along and experience what is always a great, family-friendly afternoon in South Shields!
