Think about the environment!
Why not leave the car at home and travel to the event by Metro or bus to South Shields, or be really green and walk or cycle.
Better still hop on the CitySightseeing South Tyneside tour bus as it stops next to the festival venues or hail one of the ecocycles. If you bring a picnic along remember to leave your rubbish in the bins provided.
