Summer-long pop-up experience is coming to Gateshead Quayside

A pop-up experience is coming to Gateshead Quays.

Summer On The Southside is set to open to members of the public on Tuesday, April 29, to allow visitors to make the most of the stunning vista along the Tyne and looking back at Newcastle this summer.

It will be based on the terrace of the By The River Brew Co. site, which closed in September.

Plans were recently unveiled for a new leisure and event space at the former container hub and while these are in development, the terrace will prove the perfect spot to visit during the spring and summer months.

Summer on The Southside is being operated by the team behind HWKRLAND, which was based at By The River Brew Co.

During the week, the terrace will be open for quality coffee, tea and hand-crafted doughnuts - courtesy of Deep North.

Parmorana will also be on site to serve up their award-winning chicken wings, chicken burgers and their namesake parmos.

Organisers have also confirmed there will be a guest food trader on the site each weekend.

Stuart Nurse, one of the team behind the venture, has expressed his excitement at being able to bring Summer On The Southside to Gateshead Quays.

He said: “After an amazing summer last year reopening the infamous street food market as HWKRLAND we are excited to return to activate this incredible al fresco space.

“While the amazing long-term plans for the site are on-going, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to re-open the terrace, because it is such a fantastic spot that people love to enjoy.”

Summer On The Southside will be both family and pet-friendly and will run until late September.

It will be open Monday to Friday from 12pm until late and then open from 8.30am until late on Saturday and Sundays.
