LOCATIONS
We would like to introduce the 3 wonderful locations used for this year's Boundaries edition!
These 3 locations perfectly compliment all of the artists' ideas and methods, creating the most comfortable ideal performance environments.
POPRECS is Sunderland’s beloved nonprofit community venue which nurtures collaboration and connection, making it a hotbed for innovative performances, while supporting all local folks with a ridiculous brilliant sound system.
Poprecs is our venue for the opening Friday night and should be a proper highlight!!
THE MINSTER is a charming and historic location, that drips with character. The large space is perfect for performances with scope, space and deep dynamics.
THE CITY HALL - More info very soon
We can't wait for you to see these brilliant venues and fill them all up.

poprecs
Poprecs is Sunderlands much loved community venue that has nothing but love and support for everyone and every idea.
The building is an old Binns clothing department store turned live venue after laying old and empty for many decades.
This location is a little bit out the way from the other venues as it is located about a 12min walk from The Minster and Premier Inn hotels. It is a very simple easy walk though, its basically one street all the way down to the location.
It is about a 8 min walk from train metro stations and there is parking next door.
Poprecs will only be used for the Friday night opening party.

Sunderland is a great little City with a truly stunning beach running all the way up the beautiful North East coastline. If you're arriving early,staying later or waking up nice and bright,we highly recommend you try and get to Roker beach, next to the piers. There’s great coffee cafes, tasty fish and chips, yummy ice creams,lovely fresh walks and fresh swims if you’re brave,theres a few dolphins swimming about too!
Heading up to Seaburn beach which is about 5 mins from the Roker area, here you will find more restaurants,bars,cafes,amusements and glorious wide open beaches.
The coast is located approx a 5-8 min drive from the centre of town and a nice 25 min walk.
If you do decide to walk, we advise you walk the scenic route along the paths next to the River Wear.
Have a good one, we hope you have the best time!
