LOCATIONS
We would like to introduce the 4 wonderful locations used for this year's Boundaries edition!
These 4 locations perfectly compliment all of the artists' ideas and methods, creating the most comfortable ideal performance environments. All locations are accessible to all, with staff ready to help if needed.
THE CULTURE HOUSE The Culture House Sunderland is an exciting new, four-floor cultural venue at Keel Square. It brings together Sunderland’s City Library, exhibition and event spaces, digital experiences, creative facilities, live music and places to meet and relax. It is also home to the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art.
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 - City Hall, Plater Way, Sunderland, SR1 3AA
The City Hall is a brand new addition to the Boundaries venues and we cant wait for you to experience this large room built with visuals in mind!
We can't wait for you all to see these fantastic locations.

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!
