October brings a lovely mix of autumn events, local entertainment and seaside days to South Shields — making it a great time for a short break by the coast.
South Tyneside International Magic Festival returns, bringing incredible magicians, illusionists, special shows and family-friendly activities to venues across the borough.
Autumn Restaurant Week is perfect for food lovers, with special menus, offers and dining experiences at local restaurants across South Tyneside.
The Word has a programme of seasonal arts, heritage events and creative workshops, while on 21st October, Sailors and Smugglers offers a fascinating look at South Shields’ rich coastal history.
There’s also plenty to explore at Arbeia Roman Fort, alongside local markets, theatre and seasonal entertainment throughout the month.
And after a day out exploring, there’s nothing better than returning to Sandhaven Chalets, relaxing in your own cosy self-catering chalet and enjoying the fresh sea air right on the doorstep.
As always, event details may change, so we recommend checking local listings ahead of your visit.
