Things are moving quickly here at History Fair HQ. You may have seen our flyers around town advertising the event, we've handed out 5000 and I've been told we need even more!

Bookings are still coming in from exhibitors and our re-enactors are really keen to show off their skills to the public.

The vintage bus is booked - I know lots of you love the bus trips! This year it will be heading down to the East End, stopping at the Donnison School Heritage and Education Centre and 17 Nineteen. Visit both of the venues and then hop back on the bus to return you to the Fair. Best of all, the bus is completely free!

Sunderland Antiquarian Society will also be open that day - their offices are directly opposite Bede Tower, so pop in and have a look at their amazing collections.

We have also been approached by the Freemasons at Wearside Masonic Temple who have kindly offered to open up the building to visitors, definitely worth a visit too!

There's going to be so much going on outside Bede Tower, next time, we'll let you know what's going on inside the venue!
