Everything that we're trying to do is obviously encompass of Sunderland and trying to connect with the local community.
00:06
We've got lots of great ideas going into Christmas.
00:09
We haven't quite finalised them at the moment but things are looking really positive and we're really excited about it.
00:16
Sheepfold Stables opened its doors to the public on August 2nd.
00:20
Following its atmospheric opening, the venue saw 23,000 pints sold within 12 days.
00:26
Some of the food and drink vendors which operate at the stables include Pizzeria Ice Cream for Pizza,
00:32
Mother Mercy Cocktail Bar and Asian-inspired restaurant Ember.
00:36
So what we looked at initially was just to allow the doors to open and encourage as many people from all different backgrounds
00:44
to come down and experience what the Sheepfolds have to offer.
00:48
We've put in a stacked entertainment schedule so that there's always something on the screen.
00:54
With regards to families, that's something that we're going to look at, some sort of weekend, early morning offering
01:00
because we do want to encourage families to come down.
01:03
From fine dining to speciality coffee, the stables also offers the space-snug Whiskey Lounge and the Southpaw Dance Studio
01:11
all in amongst the historic cobbled grounds.
01:14
Originally constructed in 1883, modern finesse meets rustic charm at the venue.
01:21
Yeah, the atmosphere is booming with nice weather, match days is a lot to offer with the brewery,
01:28
all the places to eat, it's busy, it's nice, it's a good atmosphere.
01:34
Look at the Sheepfolds, you know, we've got 140 years worth of restored history there.
01:39
It's a really beautiful site that kind of lends itself to, you know, the years gone by.
01:46
But yeah, everything that we're looking to do is, as I've touched on before,
01:50
is about connecting the local community and the people of Sunderland
01:54
and all the decisions that we make, that's something that we put at the forefront.
