Join RIBA North East YAPF to explore how Building Design Northern transform the Sheepfolds Stables, Sunderland into an exciting new food, drink and leisure venue.
Historically utilised as a stables for working horses, Building Design Northern have acquired the derelict buildings to transform them into a vibrant new city centre venue. The venue will be connected to the city centre by the new Wear footbridge that will provide a pedestrian and cyclist crossing between Sheepfolds and the former Vaux Brewery site, both of which are being spectacularly reimagined as part of Sunderland City Council’s Riverside Sunderland delivery plan.
The meeting location is the Marikal Site Office, located opposite the site on Easington St, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland SR5 1BA. We will meet at this location to sign in and walk towards the site.
