The Cultural Spring and The MAC Trust are offering hundreds of people from across Sunderland the chance to celebrate the opening of our city’s newest cultural venue -; The Fire Station.

Work on transforming the Edwardian fire station in High Street West into a cultural hub for music and the arts is well underway and, once finished, it will be a great asset for the city.

Now the search is on for Sunderland residents of all ages, who enjoy singing, dancing and performing, to help mark the opening of the venue. You just need to be over 16 to take part.
