How you can get a free Greggs sausage roll in Newcastle today
Greggs is handing out free snacks today in Newcastle, and we have the lowdown on how you can get involved.
The bakery brand, which started on Tyneside, has teamed up with Saturday Night Live UK to help build excitement for the show’s first episode this weekend.
Starting on Saturday, March 21, the show will follow a similar model to its hugely successful US counterpart.
It will feature some of the best up and coming names in the UK comedy and sketch circut.
To commemorate the start of the show in the UK, Greggs will be handing out free sausage rolls in cities across the country this week, starting in Newcastle.
Posting to social media late last week, the bakers said: “In case you’ve been living under a rock, Saturday Night Live is coming to the UK with the divas @skytv!
“But as well as belly laughs, you’ll be wanting full bellies... so, alongside British humour, we will be serving some of the greatest British food - Sausage Rolls.To celebrate SNL UK, the Greggs bus will be touring the country for a whole host of fun starting on the 16th March!
“From free Sausage Rolls to Sky TV subscriptions and tickets to see the show itself with travel and accommodation sorted for you – there’s plenty up for grabs.”
The setup will be availble at Wesley Square on the Quayside from 11am until 1pm on Monday, March 16.
This is outside the Law Courts where the summer outside bar setup usually sits.
Elsewhere this week, the tour will head to Birmingham on Wednesday, March 18 and London on Saturday, March 21, when Saturday Night Live UK will air on Sky.
