Welcome to South Tyneside

South Tyneside offers a diverse mix of inspirational culture, world-class leisure and breathtaking scenery that everyone can enjoy.

Along with its stunning scenery, the Borough has a wealth of cultural venues and is steeped in fascinating heritage, so there is plenty to see and do in this unique corner of the North East.

The impressive cliffs and coves along the coastline and backdrop of dunes, along with the revitalised river front make South Tyneside the perfect location for a relaxing visit.

Alternatively, the reconstructions of Roman Britain at Arbeia Roman Fort, the celebration of heritage at Bede’s World and the outstanding theatre performances and gallery exhibitions at Customs House, will cater to any cultural taste.

Add to this, a full annual calendar of sporting and cultural events, including the world famous Great North Run and a host of international festivals, you can see why South Tyneside is a place well worth visiting.
