Hello all,

I'm looking for a site to book and watch the Sunderland air show from.Has anyone got any good ideas?

Thanks

Lesley

If you mean watching the show from a campsite then there is one just a few miles along the coast road towards Marsden. Lizard Lane Caravan Park. It's just a very short walk from the headland.

I mentioned it on here a few weeks ago re another request and the consensus of opinion was, it's not the best but for an overnight should be just what you are looking for.

The Grange CC site mentioned by Vectratot is to far away, about 15 miles.

Hi Lesley

I live in Sunderland the only site's are sandhaven at south shields and Lizard land at Marsden, There are no camp or caravan sites in Sunderland. There is a lovely site at finchale abbey  just outside sunderland but it is an adult only site. If you had a motorhome they do allow you to park along the sea front but I think you'd have to get there the day before.

debi sanderson is right about the sites being there   but lizard lane is a site for statics   a few old ones have been there for ages   not a site for tourers    and the one in shields is not available these days   again not much to offer     the caravan club site at grange   durhm  literally off the a1m at carrville is ideal   you won't be able to see the show from there though    you will hve to travel into sunderland     there are no sites for you to sit in your armchair to watch the proceedings

filing the grange   you are going to hve to travel mile   this part of the north east is not littered with sites     there's one just down the road from me but they have got rid of tourers for some reason or other - not that many came

   sorry not much help , no campsites near the metro system ,the council have spent 100s of thousands on what to put on the sea front,but no campsite in the plans,the c.c.c. have a temp site about three times a year at seaburn,20 min walk from stadium allways busy,the one last week was packed as take that was on,but nothing on this week for kings of leon, 

Hi Lesley - July 30/31st 

I hope the airshow is better than last year which everyone generally agrees was poorest yet.

I go in my boat as I am based on the Tyne but may miss this year as I see no Navy ships or Red Arrows mentioned to date. http://www.militaryairshows.co.uk/ven20.htm
