FOODIE
Low Fell Food Market is hitting the road for a one-off weekender in Gateshead’s sunny Saltwell Park. A chance to snack on world street food from some of the region’s best-loved producers, sip on ice cold delights from the bikeshed bar and kick-back to summery tunes, courtesy of local buskers.
Head for cool Middlesbrough foodie spot, Grace & Maman, on Saturday night for an evening of Moroccan-inspired grub. Bring a bottle and a couple of chums and enjoy a three-course meal, showcasing authentic, homemade dishes, packed with summery, Middle Eastern flavour.
