One of the north east's most spectacular locations is hosting a food festival later this spring.
Tynemouth Priory and Castle will be home to the Tynemouth Food Festival on May 11-12 with thousands expected to attend.
The annual event, overlooking the North Sea and River Tyne, will see some of the region’s best street food vans and stalls offer incredible tastes and smells.
Cllr Sarah Day, cabinet member for Culture, Sport and Leisure, said: “Tynemouth Priory is a stunning venue for events and the food festival will feel right at home there with a really great choice of food and drink for the whole family.
“Its part of a range of amazing events taking place this year, from the road race at Easter to the Mouth of the Tyne Festival this summer and it all goes to make North Tyneside a great place to live and visit.”
Food wizards already confirmed include Papa Ganoush, Fat Hippo, Scream for Pizza, Le Petit Creperie, Hatch 76, The Little Fishy, Geordie Banger Co, Redheads Mac’n’Cheese, Cubanos and many more.
There’ll be stalls selling a range of locally produced artisan products and a festival bar stocking North East craft beers alongside special gin, cocktail and Prosecco trailers.
There’ll be loads of places to sit and listen to live music and there are some great activities for kids including Fun Little Foodies and drop-in sports sessions.
