ABOUT CULTURE QUARTER
MUSIC
The Fire Station is a state-of-the-art entertainment and hospitality venue in the heart of Sunderland’s rapidly developing cultural quarter. Our Auditorium, designed for live music, theatre and dance has capacity for up to 800 attendees. In addition to our main stage, The Parade Ground, a 600-capacity outdoor performance space with an external stage and outdoor bar has recently been completed and is playing host to a series of festival style public-ticketed and private corporate events this summer.
HOSPITALITY
Whilst music takes centre stage at The Fire Station, hospitality is at the heart of all that we do. The Fire Station Foyer Bar provides pre- and post-performance hospitality to gig goers by night, whilst hosting our corporate and conference clients by day. In our adjoining building sitting inside the lovingly restored Old Fire Station, the Engine Room is the perfect place to enjoy a meal before visiting the theatre, mark a special occasion or simply meet with friends for a fun night in the city.
