South Tyneside is full of festive cheer this December and January, with highlights including the South Tyneside Winter Parade on 5 December, family “Once Upon a Christmas” activities at South Shields Museum on 6, 13 and 20 December, and the Christmas Fayre at Marsden Grotto on 12 December. January brings refreshing coastal walks along Sandhaven Beach and Marsden Bay, alongside a full winter programme at The Customs House and ongoing exhibitions celebrating local history and culture across the region. All events are just moments from your chalet, perfect for adding a little seasonal magic to your stay.
South Shields Market runs every week with a great mix of local traders, offering fresh produce, gifts, crafts and everyday essentials. Located in the heart of the town centre, it’s a lovely spot to browse during your stay and support our local community.
